 **Do note!** that updating the firmware carries some risks, and it's recommended to create a backup of your data before proceeding with the update (I recommend using sftp or rsync).

+The command **libcamera-hello** will print a message to the console indicating that the libcamera library is working correctly, and then it will exit. 
+It will show a glimpse on screen of what is detected by the camera module and then exit, it will not capture and save any images.
+3. Point the camera module to a stationary object and then run the following command
+``` bash

 We tried to resolve the errors and then waited more time for it to be done with compiling however we would face the same error regarding the wheel.
 So after some research, reading a Raspberry Pi forum we found another approach, that is to use the 64-bit version of Raspberry Pi OS than using the 32-bit variant.
 This also eliminated the step of updating mirror.
