Installing Automation Hat Mini on Pi Zero with Dietpi

Hi
I’m using a headless Pi zero via wifi with DietPi, I2C, GPIO enabled and Python3 installed
Before going down the trial and error route, I’ve a couple of questions regarding the setup as the documentation is minimal.

1. The HAT install script will not run a root user and suggests use sudo. Do I need to run the install script as sudo or can I run as a normal user?

2. I’d rather just use Python3. Is Python2 required as the install script asks?

3. Display: I presume I need to run the ST7735 install script, However, prior to runnning any HAT install scripts, the display shown no sign of life is that ok?

Thanks in advance for your help
