Hello, everyone.

Firstly, I'd like to express my enthusiasm for this library as it has already enabled me to make a lot of progress in technologies that communicate with Beckhoff PLCs

I'd like to ask because I don't think I'm the only one who's spent hours trying to solve the problem of pyads not installing via pip on Linux-based machines, so I'd like to ask you to include in the official documentation for installing this library that it's necessary for Linux-based systems to install the tools for working with the C language, namely running the command (sudo apt install build-essential) on Ubuntu systems and running the command (sudo dnf group install c-development development-tools) on fedora-based systems. Because the error that is displayed is not very clear as to what the cause might be, especially for people who have been programming for a short time.

Thanks and keep up the good work
