 16  CircuitPython `displayio` driver for IL91874-based ePaper displays
 17  
 18  
 19  Dependencies
 20  =============
 21  This driver depends on:
 22  
 23  * `Adafruit CircuitPython <https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython>`_
 24  
 25  Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem.
 26  This is easily achieved by downloading
 27  `the Adafruit library and driver bundle <https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_Bundle>`_.
 28  
 29  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-il91874/>`_. To install for current user:
 34  
 35  .. code-block:: shell
 36  
 37      pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-il91874
 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-il91874
 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-il91874
 53
