Hi… I have installed ubunto 18.04 as a dual boot on a windows 10 laptop. Following the instructions ( at least I thought I was), I got to this point

jim@jim-HP-Notebook:~$ wfpiconsole start

Traceback (most recent call last):

File “main.py”, line 28, in

```
from lib import config as configFile

```

File “/home/jim/wfpiconsole/lib/config.py”, line 27, in   
import distro

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘distro’

jim@jim-HP-Notebook:~$

Can anyone point me toward what I need to fix?

Many thanx… jt
