Got error when trying to do pixi install

I got the following error when trying to do step 1 in quick start ( aic/docs/getting_started.md at main · intrinsic-dev/aic · GitHub )

lhphanto@first-instance:~$ # Clone this repo
mkdir -p ~/ws_aic/src
cd ~/ws_aic/src
git clone https://github.com/intrinsic-dev/aic

# Install and build dependencies
cd ~/ws_aic/src/aic
pixi install

my OS is debian

PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)"

NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"

VERSION_ID="12"

VERSION="12 (bookworm)"

VERSION_CODENAME=bookworm

ID=debian

HOME_URL="https://www.debian.org/"

SUPPORT_URL="
"

BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.debian.org/"

Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!

I also got the same error. Still trying to find a solution.

Wow. Claude is able to find the cause for me. it says
`Root cause: Your system has glibc 2.36 (Debian 12/Bookworm), but pixi-build-ros 0.3.3.20260113
requires glibc 2.39.`

after upgrade my system from Debian 12 to 13, I was able to successfully install and finish all commands until **Step 3: Run an Example Policy,
**
where I can’t see a moving arm, which maybe because I am using a remote VM and no GPU.
