Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement Jetson.GPIO

Question

Having issues trying to install the Jetson GPIO library. I keep getting this error

WARNING: Discarding https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/89/9e/6cc2823002a6d639217b382e8e3a06200acda7331e1dd7c91fcd31bce641/Jetson.GPIO-0.1.0.tar.gz#sha256=53334f5fa568b3cb722673cc787a310885f38ad9b33df277cf1d8ead2e31396a (from https://pypi.org/simple/jetson-gpio/).

Upgrading pip to 22 just gives me a: metadata-generation-failed python error

I have also tried different versions of python(3, 3.6, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10) but none seem to work.

Answer 1

If I had read the whole documentation I would have noticed that the package is meant for a Linux system.

I fixed my problem by opening up ubuntu and running

sudo pip install Jetson.GPIO

This windows ??equivalent?? also works:

I downloaded the Jetson.GPIO tar file from pypi and extracted it. Then I cd into this directory using the command line and ran this command:

python setup.py install

I got an error that said

ValueError: path 'lib/python/' cannot end with '/'

I fixed this by editing the setup.py file and removing the '/'. After running the command again it worked.
