Install guide #4

On Ubuntu on WSL (probably on all newer ubuntus) I had to install python3-pip instead of python-pip3

Also, on Ubuntu on Windows (using WSL) you should do a sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade before installing hue-thief.

Finally, if the usb stick is COM4 in Windows device manager, then it is /dev/ttyS4 in WSL. Also, hue-thief needs sudo.

Command for WSL:

sudo python3 ./hue-thief.py /dev/ttyS4

Finally, please be aware that Philips hue lamps can only be paired the first 30 seconds after powering them.
