I run a bitcoin fullnode v28.0 on a raspberry pi4 and tried to make EPS work.
I experienced several issues during installation and execution. Any help is very much appriciated. And maybe any one else can use any of the knowledge I gathered.
I ran into these issues:
- First it was not possible to install setuptools, I had to use ‘sudo apt install python3-setuptools’ instead of ‘sudo pip3 install setuptools’ Also it was not possible to run ‘pip3 install wheel’ and ‘ pip3 install use .’
- I had first to create a python virtual environment. I did this with ‘sudo apt install python3-venv’,’python3 -m venv foobar’, ‘source foobar/bin/activate’. Finaly
- I installed with ‘pip install wheel’ and ‘pip install.’ instead of ‘pip install –user .’ then ‘deactivate’ to exit virtual environment I compiled bitcoind v28.0 first without wallet. This doesn’t work . To win time I downloaded a precompiled version of v28.0.
- I created a wallet with ‘ bitcoin-cli createwallet “default” “true” “true” “”
“true” ‘ instead of ‘ bitcoin-cli createwallet electrumpersonalserver true true “” false false true ‘ because the last gave an error “BDB wallet creation is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. In this release it can be re-enabled temporarily with the -deprecatedrpc=create_bdb setting.”
I ran ‘ electrum-personal-server –rescan ~/.eps/electrum-personal-server/config.cfg ‘ this went well.
When I finally run ‘ electrum-personal-server ~/.eps/electrum-personal-server/config.cfg ‘ I get the error below:

What can I do?
