For all platforms (Raspberry Pi and Beaglebone Black) make sure your system is able to compile Python extensions. On Raspbian or Beaglebone Black's Debian/Ubuntu image you can ensure your system is ready by executing:
|
|
|
|
````
|
|
sudo apt-get update
|
|
sudo apt-get install build-essential python-dev
|
|
````
|
|
|
|
You will also need to make sure the python-smbus and python-imaging library is installed by executing:
|
|
|
|
````
|
|
sudo apt-get install python-smbus python-imaging
|
|
````
|
|
|
|
Install the library by downloading with the download link on the right, unzipping the archive, navigating inside the library's directory and executing:
|
|
|
|
````
|
|
sudo python setup.py install
|
|
````
|
|
