⚠️ This library now supports Python 3 only, Python 2 is EOL - https://www.python.org/doc/sunset-python-2/

Install and configure dependencies from GitHub:

  • git clone https://github.com/pimoroni/enviroplus-python
  • cd enviroplus-python
  • ./install.sh

Note Libraries will be installed in the "pimoroni" virtual environment, you will need to activate it to run examples:

source ~/.virtualenvs/pimoroni/bin/activate

Note Raspbian/Raspberry Pi OS Lite users may first need to install git: sudo apt install git

Or... Install from PyPi and configure manually:

  • python3 -m venv --system-site-packages $HOME/.virtualenvs/pimoroni
  • Run python3 -m pip install enviroplus

And install additional dependencies:

sudo apt install python3-numpy python3-smbus python3-pil python3-setuptools

Note this will not perform any of the required configuration changes on your Pi, you may additionally need to:

  • Enable i2c: raspi-config nonint do_i2c 0
  • Enable SPI: raspi-config nonint do_spi 0

And if you're using a PMS5003 sensor you will need to:

Bookworm

  • Enable serial: raspi-config nonint do_serial_hw 0
  • Disable serial terminal: raspi-config nonint do_serial_cons 1
  • Add dtoverlay=pi3-miniuart-bt to your /boot/firmware/config.txt

Bullseye

  • Enable serial: raspi-config nonint set_config_var enable_uart 1 /boot/config.txt
  • Disable serial terminal: sudo raspi-config nonint do_serial 1
  • Add dtoverlay=pi3-miniuart-bt to your /boot/config.txt
