Hey guys very new to pi and Linux, I have been working at it I was proud I got a hello world back from an ESP32 so I felt some success lol. Anyway here is the problem and it may be out there but I can’t find a specific answer. I have a pi 4b I’m using a bme280 temp/etc sensor using i2c now I know I have it on in config for i2 and I can also see in terminal slot 77 has something. I proceed to try so many attempts at loading the driver libraries. I’ve used the git cloneurl method which downloads my files. Then I go and set cd to directory those files are in and I type the commands to install setup.py. I have downloaded all the drivers I’m trying from git and we know they work. However I get stuck because I’m having to use script from internet to try to navigate deeper to try to get the drivers to library. For some reason there is always some type of error or it wants me to go to box environment which I don’t understand how installing with python on virtual machine will some how the. Allow my drivers to install on the system in lib? I’m super stuck I’ve used brawny to compile and test the setup.py’s and yet it some how always finds a problem like one file missing or decimal syntax crap. I even tried to go the total newb route of downloading the zip of drivers and trying to paste into libs but u can’t do that and I don’t understand the commands to move the files manually from downloads to lib. Like the source and destination portion messes with me. Any help would be great I just do t see what’s going wrong. I will post logs when free tomorrow but am I just missing something
Main commands I used
Sudo apt install (directory) setup.py
Various python3 versions of command
Basically all the ones I could google and try. For some reason pip never works for me and once in a while if I try one it says glob can’t find file.
I want to learn but this is eating up
Hours of my time and it should be a simple task
Any help would be huge
