Hi, I had a small issue installing the drivers. I found a solution and thought it would be helpful to share here so others are not confused.

I was installing on Pi Compute 3+ (which does not have integrated wifi), so I had to download from github using my PC and transferred the LCD-show-master folder with a USB harddrive to my Pi.

I used cd command to move to the LCD-show-master folder and then tried sudo ./filename but this command did not work.

The solution was I apparently had to first make the file executable with the command: chmod +x filename

Hope this helps someone!
