I also run into a problem on line 25.
I've managed to setup and enter a virtual envormont with
python -m venv venv source venv/bin/active

but now line 25
pip install -r requirements.txt
complains about something else:
`dbus-gmain| Run-time dependency dbus-1 found: NO (tried pkgconfig and cmake)

  ../subprojects/dbus-gmain/meson.build:107:11: ERROR: Dependency "dbus-1" not found, tried pkgconfig and cmake

`

any suggestions?
