* Switch to the virtual environment: `source ~/.virtualenvs/pimoroni/bin/activate`
* Install the library: `pip install inky`

In some cases you may need to us `sudo` or install pip with: `sudo apt install python3-pip`.

This will not make any configuration changes, so you may also need to enable:

* i2c: `sudo raspi-config nonint do_i2c 0`
* spi: `sudo raspi-config nonint do_spi 0`

You can optionally run `sudo raspi-config` or the graphical Raspberry Pi Configuration UI to enable interfaces.

Additionally you may need to disable SPI's chip-select to avoid the error:

```
Woah there, some pins we need are in use!

This requires the addition of `dtoverlay=spi0-0cs` to `/boot/firmware/config.txt`.

# Usage

The library should be run with Python 3.
