Installing GPIO Zero
====================
GPIO Zero is installed by default in `Raspbian Jessie`_ and `Raspbian x86`_,
available from `raspberrypi.org`_. Follow these guides to installing on other
operating systems, including for PCs using the :doc:`remote GPIO <remote_gpio>`
feature.
Raspberry Pi
============
First, update your repositories list:
.. code-block:: console
pi@raspberrypi:~$ sudo apt update
Then install the package for Python 3:
.. code-block:: console
pi@raspberrypi:~$ sudo apt install python3-gpiozero
or Python 2:
.. code-block:: console
pi@raspberrypi:~$ sudo apt install python-gpiozero
If you're using another operating system on your Raspberry Pi, you may need to
use pip to install GPIO Zero instead. Install pip using `get-pip`_ and then
type:
.. code-block:: console
pi@raspberrypi:~$ sudo pip3 install gpiozero
or for Python 2:
.. code-block:: console
pi@raspberrypi:~$ sudo pip install gpiozero
To install GPIO Zero in a virtual environment, see the :doc:`development` page.
PC/Mac
======
In order to use GPIO Zero's remote GPIO feature from a PC or Mac, you'll need
to install GPIO Zero on that computer using pip. See the :doc:`remote_gpio`
page for more information.
