## Build
|
|
|
|
As this is just a python wrapper for the library you must first follow
|
|
the build instructions in the parent directory.
|
|
When complete, you can build this python wrapper:
|
|
```
|
|
sudo apt-get install python-dev swig
|
|
python ./setup.py build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you are rebuilding after fetching some updated commits, you might need to
|
|
remove the build directory first
|
|
```
|
|
rm -rf ./build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
If you want to install the library (in a virtualenv or in the system), so that you can `import neopixel` from anywhere, you need to run:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
python ./setup.py install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Depending on where you are installing, root privileges may be needed (prepend `sudo` to the install command).
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Run a demo
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo PYTHONPATH=".:build/lib.linux-armv7l-2.7" python examples/strandtest.py
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you installed the library, there is no need to specify `PYTHONPATH`:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo python examples/strandtest.py
|
|
```
