Why not include being able to program the GPIOs of the expansion port P1?

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 Building dependency tree Reading state information... 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). 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. ant@LinuxPC:~$ pip3 install git+https://github.com/jethornton/7i96.git Collecting git+https://github.com/jethornton/7i96.git Cloning https://github.com/jethornton/7i96.git to /tmp/pip-ngv9nkst-build Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info: Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'setuptools' ---------------------------------------- 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.

What does uname -a report back?

It's just a python program so no compiling is needed, you can just download it and make sure it's executable and run it.

John,

looking at the Stretch install I see the 7i96.Py in my home dir $local.bin. On this Mint install there is no $.bin directory, just a shared.

Since I'm looking in a hidden directory shouldn't the system create the $.bin?

The home/user/.bin in Debian is not in the path by default. Try $PATH and see if local/.bin is there. If not then do step 3 in the install instructions.
