OS Dependency Checks #1

Closed paper-skyline closed 2 years ago

paper-skyline commented 5 years ago

Pimoroni directs users to run a bash script that performs a number of OS package and Raspberry Pi configuration checks. This includes things like making sure that I2C is enabled, SPI is enable, SMBUS is enabled, and related Python2 and Python3 packages are installed. Will either have to instruct people to run that first or to somehow bake that in.

On the other hand, I do point out that this won't run if you don't have an Inky PiHat. As part of the base install to use that on any machine, you'd have to run that setup script from Pimoroni.
