I just migrated to Linux Fedora yesterday and I’d like to try this.
Can I get some help? I followed everything on the website but I’m encountering an error:

Welcome to Mycroft!
```
This script is designed to make working with Mycroft easy. During this
first run of dev\_setup we will ask you a few questions to help setup
your environment.
Do you want to run on ‘master’ or against a dev branch? Unless you are
a developer modifying mycroft-core itself, you should run on the
‘master’ branch. It is updated bi-weekly with a stable release.
Y)es, run on the stable ‘master’ branch
N)o, I want to run unstable branches
Choice [Y/N]: Y - using ‘master’ branch
branch ‘master’ set up to track ‘origin/master’.
Switched to a new branch ‘master’
Mycroft is actively developed and constantly evolving. It is recommended
that you update regularly. Would you like to automatically update
whenever launching Mycroft? This is highly recommended, especially for
those running against the ‘master’ branch.
Y)es, automatically check for updates
N)o, I will be responsible for keeping Mycroft updated.
Choice [Y/N]: Y - update automatically
Mycroft uses its Mimic technology to speak to you. Mimic can run both
locally and from a server. The local Mimic is more robotic, but always
available regardless of network connectivity. It will act as a fallback
if unable to contact the Mimic server.
However, building the local Mimic is time consuming – it can take hours
on slower machines. This can be skipped, but Mycroft will be unable to
talk if you lose network connectivity. Would you like to build Mimic
locally?
Choice [Y/N]: Y - Mimic will be built
There are several Mycroft helper commands in the bin folder. These
can be added to your system PATH, making it simpler to use Mycroft.
Would you like this to be added to your PATH in the .profile?
Choice [Y/N]: Y - Adding Mycroft commands to your PATH
Type mycroft-help to see available commands.
The standard location for Mycroft skills is under /opt/mycroft/skills.
This script will create that folder for you. This requires sudo
permission and might ask you for a password…
Created!
For convenience, a soft link has been created called ‘skills’ which leads
to /opt/mycroft/skills.
(Developer) Do you want to automatically check code-style when submitting code.
If unsure answer yes.
Choice [Y/N]: Will install PEP8 pre-commit hook…
