Hi, I get the message above after running the following command... poetry run papertty --driver epd5in83 terminal After adding sudo to the beginning of that command, terminal returns... sudo: poetry: command not found I expect this isn't an issue with paperTTY, more my lack of experience with Linux. However, any pointers would be greatly appreciated!

I've been trying to make papertty work today and thank god I figured out how to solve this issue. Apparently for sudo commands inside the virtual enviroment needs you to point to the specific directory (maybe I'm wrong but I saw this explained in another issue and it worked):

sudo papertty_venv/bin/papertty --driver it8951 terminal

(replace it8951 with the driver you need from --list command)

Thanks for sharing the tip here to help others. Hopefully some day I manage to update the docs from their woeful state.
