Documentation - libffi5 requirements

Open hukuzatuna opened this issue 9 years ago • 3 comments

You may wish to include a note in README.md to the effect that on a Raspberry Pi (running Rasbian Jessie) the following packages need to be installed: libffi5, libffi5-dbg, and libffi5-dev.

I only had to install ibffi-dev. Wonder if I sould redo setup with the three packages you mentioned above>

If you use the new PyPi version, this is fixed by using the new smbus2 package which is built in Python, and doesn't require other system packages like these mentioned.
