-   **PRO TIPS**:
-   - On **Ubuntu** and **Debian**, `python3-cryptography` is installed by default, unlike on **Raspberry Pi OS**.
-   - Installing `python3-cryptography` (above) is not actually required — but can help if you're having trouble pip installing `cryptography` in Step 6. (If so, run `python3 -m venv venv --system-site-packages` instead of Step 5., to give the virtual environment access your OS's python3-cryptography, allowing you to skip Step 6.)
