Gpio next syntax error raspberry pie 3 emulation station

[Devenhulk123]

I wanted to use my raspberry gpio pins and I installed it using these scripts cd ~ git clone https://github.com/mholgatem/GPIOnext.git bash GPIOnext/install.sh After that that it gave me a invalid syntax I dont know what to do or what I put to set a input really. This is the invalid syntax it gives me

Thanks Deven

Sorry Its my first time posting so I didn't really know what to put

The reason that you are getting that error is that you are most likely running an old version of python3. Use this command to find your version:

python3 --version

If your version is <3.6, upgrade it with: sudo apt install python3.9

If your version is <3.6, upgrade it with: sudo apt install python3.9 I just tried and the same error popped up

That’s probably because the script uses python3, and on your system that corresponds to Python 3.6, even if 3.9 is installed. Can you update your operating system to a version that uses a current Python version?

I used sudo apt-get update followed by sudo apt-get upgrade and everything thing is updated already what do you mean by upgrade the operating system?

Answering that would take some time, and be out of scope for this place!

But can you show the output of these commands:

cat /etc/os-release
apt-cache show python3 | head -n3

Sorry that was my bad

We learn two things:

• you are running raspberry pi OS 9, but the current version is 10
• the python version used by the python3 command is 3.5, which is too old to support this script

Raspberry Pi foundation does not recommend updating the system in place, but making a fresh install on a new SD card.

Is there any way I could try updating it without starting new SD card before I wipe it clean

[mholgatem]

Yes, you can. But in my experience, you tend to get better performance from a fresh install. If you are determined to just upgrade in place, here's a guide

Okay thank you I'll try it out
