I try to install pyindi-client as described in
installing_pyndi_client
.
When I try to pip install, for example, with
sudo pip3 install pyindi-client
I always get an error saying that setup.py cannot find libindiclient.a

I searched for this file in the system but I didn't find it.
I found a few threads in this forum with similar problems but I could not extract any clue/solution for my case.
I must say I am used to python (about 15 years being my main programming language) but unfortunately I am dumb as a brick in linux/ubuntu.
So bear with me if this is a stupid question.
I am in a desktop PC running Ubuntu 20.04.1
