Installation error: tflite_runtime-2.6.0-cp39-none-linux_aarch64.whl is not a supported wheel

Brand new Raspberry Pi 4 model B and BirdNET Pi user here. I just installed RaspiOS-Lite (64-bit) and then ran the curl command from the installation guide. Things moved right along until I got:

Looking in indexes: https://pypi.org/simple, https://www.piwheels.org/simple
ERROR: tflite_runtime-2.6.0-cp39-none-linux_aarch64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform.
The installation exited unsuccessfully.

I checked for solutions and found #847 and #775 which mentioned mismatches in 32/64 bit and old versions of python. I don't believe any of that is what I'm experiencing. uname is reporting aarch64, my python version is 3.11.2. A few more details:

Python 3.11.2 (main, Mar 13 2023, 12:18:29) [GCC 12.2.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import platform
>>> platform.architecture()
('64bit', 'ELF')

I'm not quite sure what to try next. Any thoughts?

I've experienced the same problem - see the bottom of #847 : the slightly older Bullseye 11.7 version did the trick to me (you can select the version in the Raspberry Pi Imager).

Thanks @pddpauw! That did the trick. Sorry I didn't pull that out of the other Q&A. I wasn't quite sure what Bullseye meant, but now I see that it is an older version of Raspberry Pi and you can choose it through the Imager.

no probs, welcome to the wonderful world of the Raspberry Pi's. Enjoy the bird monitoring!
