Installing GitHub repository

Tue Jun 25, 2019 9:53 am

Hi,

I'm fairly new to programming with the Pi. For a uni project I want to download the following GitHub Python library (or repository? I'm very unfamiliar with the terminology) https://github.com/azzra/python3-wiimote . So far I have done the

Code: Select all

git clone https://github.com/azzra/python3-wiimote
but I can't find a setup.py file or similar. Are there other steps to download from GitHub that I'm missing?

Sorry, should've mentioned that I tried using those instructions but it doesn't work. The first line to prepare the environment

Code: Select all

aclocal
comes back with

Code: Select all

bash: aclocal: command not found
I have also tried this https://github.com/azzra/python3-wiimote/issues/7 using

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install libcwiid1

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install libcwiid-dev
and then

Code: Select all

sudo pip3 install cwiid
but ran into the same problem that's stated in the post. I don't understand how to solve the problem though, even though azzra explained it

Maybe ask the developer for further clarification?
