Inky impression: driver install script. #139

Closed phatmanace closed 1 year ago

phatmanace commented 2 years ago

Wondered if any of the maintainers here owned the install script for the inky impression drivers

Link here

Specifically, this script

curl https://get.pimoroni.com/inky | bash

I noticed a minor annoyance with it that it wants to use apt-get to install all the python libraries that the driver needs, but has to fail back for each library to the pip method - not a massive deal, but makes the script take ages to run as it has to wait for a timeout for each one. Would also be happy to be told that I’m using the wrong OS on my RPI, although it was a fresh install of Raspbian.

didn’t know if @Gadgetoid happened to own this per chance.

Feel free to close if I need to pursue another place for discussing this.

These nightmarish scripts are a very lightly maintained legacy holdover that I've been slowly supplanting with an install.sh in each individual repo.

If you peer under the hood you'll understand why I'm apprehensive to change them.

No problem, I’ll just stay as I am and continue to use the other script for now; Thanks a lot for responding though!

This- at least- should now be fixed.
