## ⚠️ Warning: long installation time expected!
Starting october 2023, Raspberry Pi OS is now based on Debian bookworm and uses python 3.11 instead of 3.9 as the
default version. Inkycal has been updated to work with python3.11, but the installation of numpy can take a very long
time, in some cases even hours. If you do not want to wait this long to install Inkycal, you can also get a
ready-to-flash version of Inkycal called InkycalOS-Lite with everything pre-installed for you by sponsoring
via [GitHub Sponsors](https://github.com/sponsors/aceisace). This helps keep up maintenance costs, implement new
features and fixing bugs. Please choose the one-time sponsor option and select the one with the plug-and-play version of
Inkycal. Then, send your email-address to which InkycalOS-Lite should be sent.
Alternatively, you can also use the PayPal.me link and send the same amount as GitHub sponsors to get access to
InkycalOS-Lite!
Installing Inkycal, particularly on the Raspberry Pi Zero W models can take up to **a few hours**.
The good news is that this is one-time and InkyCal generally runs without an issue for months or even years.
The bad news is that the Zero W can run out of memory when installing the required packages. A temporary fix for this is to use SWAP (kind of like a file-based RAM) which is slow, but at least won't lead to
**TLDR: Skip the wait and several hours of headaches, sponsor InkyCal via [GitHub Sponsors](https://github.com/sponsors/aceisace) and you will shortly receive the download link
