# RPiGPIO.makertools Python library for using the GPIO on RaspberryPi with examples. # Installation To install the RPiGPIO.makertools library, you first have to clone the git repo: ``` git clone https://git.privacynerd.de/dotmakertools/RPiGPIO.makertools.git ``` After this is done, cd into RPiGPIO.makertools and type: ``` python3 setup.py install ``` This will copy the required package files to your python installation point (or, in case of a virtual environment, to the _lib_ directory of the env folder) and install all requirements. When you want to use devices which communicate over I²C, you probably first have to enable with `raspi-config`: - _Interface Options_ - _I2C_ - **Yes** and **OK** That's it! Now you can use the library in Python by importing it: ```python3 import RPiGPIOmakertools ```
