Trying to do a fresh install of enviroplus-python to a RPi Zero, I followed the steps here: [https://learn.pimoroni.com/tutorial/sandyj/getting-started-with-enviro-plus](https://learn.pimoroni.com/tutorial/sandyj/getting-started-with-enviro-plus). I’m using the latest ‘Raspbian Buster with desktop and recommended software’ image as suggested, but during the install the following error is thrown: pi@raspberrypi:~/enviroplus-python $ sudo ./install.sh Checking for python-configparser enviroplus 0.0.3 Python Library: Installer Installing for Python 2… Checking for python-pip Checking for python-numpy Checking for python-smbus Checking for python-pil Checking for python-spidev Checking for python-rpi.gpio Checking for libportaudio2 zip\_safe flag not set; analyzing archive contents… package init file ‘src/doc/ **init**.py’ not found (or not a regular file) package init file ‘src/test/ **init**.py’ not found (or not a regular file) File “build/bdist.linux-armv6l/egg/astral/geocoder.py”, line 428 def database() -\> LocationDatabase: ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax File “build/bdist.linux-armv6l/egg/astral/ **main**.py”, line 38 kwargs: Dict[str, Any] = {} ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax File “build/bdist.linux-armv6l/egg/astral/location.py”, line 23 def **init** (self, info: Optional[LocationInfo] = None): ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax File “build/bdist.linux-armv6l/egg/astral/moon.py”, line 11 def \_phase\_asfloat(date: datetime.date) -\> float: ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax File “build/bdist.linux-armv6l/egg/astral/ **init**.py”, line 78 def now(tzinfo: datetime.tzinfo = pytz.utc) -\> datetime.datetime: ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax File “build/bdist.linux-armv6l/egg/astral/sun.py”, line 47 def proper\_angle(value: float) -\> float: ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax File “build/bdist.linux-armv6l/egg/test/almost\_equal.py”, line 6 def datetime\_almost\_equal(datetime1: datetime, datetime2: datetime, seconds: int = 60): ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax File “build/bdist.linux-armv6l/egg/test/test\_norway.py”, line 10 def \_next\_event(obs: astral.Observer, dt: datetime, event: str): ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax File “build/bdist.linux-armv6l/egg/test/test\_sun\_calc.py”, line 18 def test\_JulianDay(day: datetime.date, jd: float): ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax File “build/bdist.linux-armv6l/egg/test/conftest.py”, line 9 def test\_database() -\> LocationDatabase: ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax zip\_safe flag not set; analyzing archive contents… Done!

Try this instead of the clone `curl -sSL https://get.pimoroni.com/enviroplus | bash` ---

Ok, I missed that somehow, ops. Double check that SPI is enabled in Raspberry Pi Configuration, or run raspi-config from terminal to do it if your running Buster Lite. EDIT: This is my thread on getting that LCD to work. The one used by the Enviro + is the smaller 0.96" colour LCD (160x80). Still might help though. > [@1.3 color tft LCD on btreakout garden pHat, SPI i2c](https://forums.pimoroni.com/t/1-3-color-tft-lcd-on-btreakout-garden-phat-spi-i2c/13033): > > I’m trying to get my 1.3" SPI Colour LCD (240x240) Breakout working with a Breakout Garden pHat The Breakout garden Installer didn’t find it, I had to do the manual install from here Running the scrolling-test.py example from idle3 got me a no module named st7789.

Same thing unfortunately :( I also did a fresh install with the full desktop with recommended software, then using the curl command the same syntax error comes up part way through. I also checked that SPI was enabled through sudo raspi-config and rebooted. I’m out of ideas :) pi@raspberrypi:~ $ curl -sSL [https://get.pimoroni.com/enviroplus](https://get.pimoroni.com/enviroplus) | bash This script will install everything needed to use Enviro+ Always be careful when running scripts and commands copied from the internet.

I’m no expert on this but it kind of sounds like the github repo is corrupted? I think I would contact Pimoroni about it via this link [https://shop.pimoroni.com/pages/contact-us](https://shop.pimoroni.com/pages/contact-us) I would put a link to this thread in that e-mail. ---

Turns out it was a faulty LCD on the board - Pimoroni were great at shipping me a replacement which works as expected :) ---
