My purchase “Order #PI241831 Thu, Jan 18 2018”. Nearly two years after delivery I finally tried to install my inkyphat. My main interest is to use weather-phat localized for “Helsinki” and “FI”. No success so far. I used the “curl [https://get.pimoroni.com/inky](https://get.pimoroni.com/inky) | bash” on a RPi3A+ running latest buster. The InkypHat front and backside pictures ![inky%20backside](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/pimoroni/original/2X/5/5dd670df1c8ae06de7cb281d32934b09b825c2dd.jpeg) ![inky%20frontside](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/pimoroni/original/2X/4/4c5165042995b038096a7b5c0e592431ecb329ae.jpeg) Which version is it ? During installation process there where many errors always falling back to “pypi”. Is inkyphat compatible with “buster” or dedicated to ONLY RPiZeroW. I am just trying to narrow down what went wrong trying to get the device alive… TIA calleblyh / Helsinki ---

Buster Lite, or Buster with Desktop? The Lite version is missing some stuff that is stock with the full desktop version. ---

Ok, not running the Lite version. Its compatible with any Pi with a 40 pin header, as far as I know. Is Buster the issue, maybe hard to say. Changes made to a new OS versus the one before it will sometimes catch you out. Try running ` sudo pip3 install inky` For a python 3 install. > **[pimoroni/inky](https://github.com/pimoroni/inky)** > > Combined library for V2/V3 Inky pHAT and Inky wHAT. - pimoroni/inky ---

So today I have made a fresh Buster OS using full version. Inkyphat now on RPiZW… Trying to follow pimoroni/inky, I managed to run border.py under tests, so I am sure my inkyphat is alive. However my main interest is weather-phat.py but any attempt fail. I am very confused how to correctly run weather-phat.py. Namely I need exact terminal syntax how to define --colour xxx. Also quite confusing reading from Usage onwards Typing in terminal “python weather-phat.py red” and I get error messages: Please tell me how to proceed. Once I get the understanding to run the weather-phat I need to localize to Helsinki FI, but that’s another story TIA calleblyh ---

OK, finally got it…Syntax: python weather.phat.py --colour red. Localisation to Helsinki FI works. ---

Good stuff, sometimes persistence does pay off. =)
