8 years ago Hi,
Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. I just tested this on a Raspberry Pi 3 (Jessie) and I'm getting the same message. Fortunately, i2c-tools is installed anyway:
$ dpkg --status i2c-tools
Package: i2c-tools

Priority: extra

Description: heterogeneous set of I2C tools for Linux
This package contains a heterogeneous set of I2C tools for Linux: a bus
probing tool, a chip dumper, register-level access helpers, EEPROM
decoding scripts, and more.
Homepage: http://www.lm-sensors.orgSo you can follow the (new!) instructions in the README and it should work now.
The following is from an install on Jessie which appears to have a problem - is this terminal?
