setup.py

[jessismerkovitz]

I'm trying to install the

Code: Select all

sudo python setup.py install

and every time I press enter, I keep getting

python: can't open file 'setup.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

Basically I need this file because I am trying to get onto the Adafruit examples file but it keeps telling me there is no file or directories.

I have installed everything that needs to be installed such as the python smbus, dev etc.

Are you in the same directory where "setup.py" is located? If so you'll need to use

Code: Select all

sudo python ./setup.py install

The leading "./" tells it to run the setup.py file that's located in your current working directory.

Or you could use the full path

Code: Select all

sudo python /path/to/setup.py install

Yes. I got it all working. Thank you.

Now I'm onto my next post already regarding my LCD 16x2 Pi plate.

If you think you could help- please check it out that would be great

If I'm not mistaken, Python will look in the current directory by default, no need for './'.
