-autoradio uses [pycurl](https://pypi.org/project/pycurl/) to do downloads, because it does a bunch of the fiddly stuff around redirects, but pycurl itself can be fiddly to install. On a Raspberry Pi I had to manually install the following packages first using ```apt```:

 things like redirects, hopefully).
