I know I'm probably a day late and a dollar short here, but for anyone else who finds themselves here. These are rough instructions for a Pi 4/5:

Enable i2c:

sudo raspi-config nonint do_i2c 0

Check if i2c enabled and device connected:

sudo i2cdetect -y 1

(Should see 0x76 or 0x77 in the list of devices.)

Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/pimoroni/bme280-python

Use the installer script:

cd bme280-python
./install.sh

Answer "Y" to copy examples, then:

cd ~/Pimoroni/pimoroni-bme280
python3 all-values.py
