After the installation is completed, there will be:
Figure 1. Successful Installation

Create python virtual environment and install python packages:

cd /home/user/openplc_v3
sudo python3 -m venv .venv
sudo .venv/bin/python3 -m pip install requests wget bs4 flask==2.3.3 werkzeug==2.3.7 flask-login==0.6.2 pyserial pymodbus==2.5.3

After installation of OpenPLC runtime, the python library VisionFive.gpio should also be installed by referring to the Preparing Software section.
Note: The OpenPLC runtime is installed under sudo, so VisionFive.gpio should also be installed by sudo. The Step g in the above link should be modified as:
```
sudo .venv/bin/python3 -m pip install $(path_to_whl)/VisionFive.gpio-1.3.3-cp31x-cp31x-linux_riscv64.whl
```
Where $(path_to_whl) is the path pointing to the VisionFive.gpioxxx.whl file. The x in VisionFive.gpio-1.3.3-cp31x-cp31x-linux_riscv64.whl depends on the Python version used by the current venv. You can check it by running the following command:
```
sudo .venv/bin/python3 -V
```
Figure 2. Check Python Version

If it is version 3.10, install the cp310 version; if it is version 3.11, install the cp311 version.
