Instructions for Installation : paho-mqtt and golang

[beadon]

1. preference for ubuntu installations seems to be slightly easier with

$ sudo pip3 install paho-mqtt

error: externally-managed-environment

× This environment is externally managed
╰─> To install Python packages system-wide, try apt install
    python3-xyz, where xyz is the package you are trying to
    install.
    
    If you wish to install a non-Debian-packaged Python package,
    create a virtual environment using python3 -m venv path/to/venv.
    Then use path/to/venv/bin/python and path/to/venv/bin/pip. Make
    sure you have python3-full installed.
    
    If you wish to install a non-Debian packaged Python application,
    it may be easiest to use pipx install xyz, which will manage a
    virtual environment for you. Make sure you have pipx installed.
    
    See /usr/share/doc/python3.12/README.venv for more information.

note: If you believe this is a mistake, please contact your Python installation or OS distribution provider. You can override this, at the risk of breaking your Python installation or OS, by passing --break-system-packages.
hint: See PEP 668 for the detailed specification.

Instead try this ..

$ sudo apt install python3-paho-mqtt

2. It appears the instructions for installation are slightly out of date, go no longer permits the installation of a module using "get", so the installation instructions for rtlamr should be updated :

$ go get github.com/bemasher/rtlamr
go: go.mod file not found in current directory or any parent directory.
	'go get' is no longer supported outside a module.
	To build and install a command, use 'go install' with a version,
	like 'go install example.com/cmd@latest'
	For more information, see https://golang.org/doc/go-get-install-deprecation
	or run 'go help get' or 'go help install'.
$ go install github.com/bemasher/rtlamr
go: 'go install' requires a version when current directory is not in a module
	Try 'go install github.com/bemasher/rtlamr@latest' to install the latest version

$ go install github.com/bemasher/rtlamr@latest
go: downloading github.com/bemasher/rtlamr v0.9.3
go: downloading github.com/bemasher/rtltcp v0.0.0-20151011062038-3aed81c166c5
go: downloading github.com/pkg/errors v0.8.1
go: downloading golang.org/x/xerrors v0.0.0-20191011141410-1b5146add898

Things appear to work from here...
