RTIMULib copy should be optional #88

Open teuteuguy opened 5 years ago

Copying the RTIMULib to the home folder requires access to the home folder, which in some cases, ie. running as root can become complex.

This should be a setting on load of the lib, to choose whether or not to copy the RTIMULib file or not.

Event, be able to provide path to file directly.

In general, you should be guaranteed access to your home directory, if nowhere else. But yes, flexibility wouldn't hurt.

Indeed. I'm trying to use python-sense-hat on on a limited access case (Home Assistant on Hass.io).

As the RTIMULib is not listed as a dependency, it is not installed on my device and thus I cannot use my sense hat.
