Installing from PyPI
30+
====================
31+
32+
On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally `from
33+
PyPI <https://pypi.org/project/adafruit-circuitpython-l3gd20/>`_. To install for current user:
34+
35+
.. code-block:: shell
36+
37+
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-l3gd20
38+
39+
To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):
40+
41+
.. code-block:: shell
42+
43+
sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-l3gd20
44+
45+
To install in a virtual environment in your current project:
46+
47+
.. code-block:: shell
48+
49+
mkdir project-name && cd project-name
50+
python3 -m venv .env
51+
source .env/bin/activate
52+
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-l3gd20

To build this library locally you'll need to install the

Sphinx documentation

-----------------------

Sphinx is used to build the documentation based on rST files and comments in the code. First,
102-
install dependencies (feel free to reuse the virtual environment from above):

104-
.. code-block:: shell
105-
106-
python3 -m venv .env
107-
source .env/bin/activate
108-
pip install Sphinx sphinx-rtd-theme
109-

Now, once you have the virtual environment activated:
111-

.. code-block:: shell

cd docs

sphinx-build -E -W -b html . _build/html

Documentation
97+
=============
11698

117-
This will output the documentation to ``docs/_build/html``. Open the index.html in your browser to
118-
view them. It will also (due to -W) error out on any warning like Travis will. This is a good way to
119-
locally verify it will pass.
