can't get my screen to display info / can't run script #99

I setup pi-hole on a pi zero w and that all works fine and is running properly. i just can't get the screen working yet.

I am NOT using the OLED kit, I'm using the Mini PiTFT.

I'm following the guide for the kit i bought here: https://learn.adafruit.com/pi-hole-ad-blocker-with-pi-zero-w?view=all

when i type the command "sudo python3 ~pi/stats.py" it just returns

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/pi/stats.py", line 16, in import adafruit_rgb_display.st7789 as st7789 ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'adafruit_rgb_display'

I assume I must be missing a step but i don't know what. I would really appreciate the help I am new to the raspberry pi world

I am having the same exact problem.

It sounds like you haven't installed the library. It states here that the guide assumes you have the library installed: https://learn.adafruit.com/pi-hole-ad-blocker-with-pi-zero-w/install-mini-pitft#python-setup-3049424-9

If you have already done that, it may need to be installed using sudo because of pihole needing increased privileges, which you can do by typing: sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-rgb-display. Looking at the guide, it requires you to run the script as sudo, so I'm pretty sure that's the solution.

Closing since there isn't anything to do here based on the error message. I added a warning to the guide.
