Followed official install instruction and got:

dns_sd.DNSServiceRegister(self.serviceRef, flags, ifaceIdx, name,
^

Error: dns service error: unknown

 

Turned out that libavahi-compat-libdnssd-dev is not enough. To fix it, run:

apt-get install avahi-daemon avahi-discover libnss-mdns libavahi-compat-libdnssd-dev

Installed smoothly on Armbian. Maybe Armbian has the other packages preinstalled.
