BJT,
Linux newbie here. About a year ago I load the 7i96 tool on Stretch, no problem. Since then I've changed machines and loaded Mint. Now when I try to load 7i96 Tool I get the following errors.
Code:
ant@LinuxPC:~$ sudo apt install python3-pip python3-pyqt5 libpci-dev git
Reading package lists... Done

python3-pyqt5 is already the newest version (5.10.1+dfsg-1ubuntu2).
git is already the newest version (1:2.17.1-1ubuntu0.5).
libpci-dev is already the newest version (1:3.5.2-1ubuntu1.1).
python3-pip is already the newest version (9.0.1-2.3~ubuntu1.18.04.1).

Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:

----------------------------------------
Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-ngv9nkst-build/
I have python 2.7 and 3.6, does the version matter? What am i missing?
Can I just download from GitHub and compile the package local?
Update: OK upon further research, Is the tool needed with v2.8? Does the PncConf tool officially work with the 7i96? I really liked the 7i96 tool.
