pi@picade:~ $
There is no install.sh anywhere in it:
pi@picade:~ $ find Pimoroni/plasma/plasma/ -name install.sh
pi@picade:~ $
I can’t execute anything the main command is not found.
pi@picade:~ $ plasmactl --list
-bash: plasmactl: command not found
For additional info i also tried the manual install
pi@picade:~ $ sudo pip3 install plasmalights
sudo: pip3: command not found
So i did the following:
pi@picade:~ $ sudo apt install python3-pip
Then
sudo rm /usr/lib/python3.11/EXTERNALLY-MANAGED
Then
sudo pip3 install plasmalights
Same result… nothing works.
And trying to run from the examples:
pi@picade:~/plasma/examples $ python ./main.py
I had first to install the python modules urequests and ezwifi but still no success:
pi@picade:~/plasma/examples $ python ./main.py
