can not install using pip/ or setup

Hi,

I am in fedora 30 and python 3.7.3

with pip

sudo pip3 install gphoto2
WARNING: Running pip install with root privileges is generally not a good idea. Try `pip3 install --user` instead.

As the error says, pkg-config --modversion libgphoto2 failed. Either you don't have the pkg-config command (unlikely) or you haven't installed the "development headers" version of libgphoto2. Try running pkg-config --modversion libgphoto2 from the command line.

Oh... Thanks. I haven't realised I have to install the devel version separately. Thanks for your quick response.
