Trying to setup the Qwiic Twist on a Pi Zero W.
I have had the Twist working on an Arduino in the past.
This is the first time I’ve setup hardware on a pi.
Starting at the Qwiic Twist page I follow the github links
Sparkfun/Qwiic_Twist_Py → Sparkfun/Qwiic_Py → sparkfun/Qwiic_I2C_Py
I am working from /home/pi
Following directions at https://github.com/sparkfun/Qwiic_I2C_Py
pip install setuptools (All ready installed)
pip install smbus
sudo pip install sparkfun-qwiic-i2c
At the command
python setup.py install
I get the error:
python: can’t open file ‘/home/pi/setup.py’: [Errno 2] No such file or directory
setup.py is located on the pi
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/numpy/linalg/setup.py
and other locations under /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages.
Thanks for the help.
It looks like you’re trying to run setup.py it from the root directory (‘/home/pi/setup.py’); either add the full file path or navigate to the directory where it is and re-try

Thank you, you are correct, if I specify the path setup.py will run but I get errors when I try different ones.
pi@metar:~ $ python /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/numpy/core/setup.py install
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/numpy/core/setup.py”, line 13, in
from numpy._build_utils.apple_accelerate import (
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘numpy._build_utils’
Where should I be running the installs from?

Got it working.
I think I was running the install and then setup.py
from the wrong directories.
Started over
sudo apt update
sudo apt install git
From / NOT /home/pi sudo git clone https://github.com/sparkfun/Qwiic_Py
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/sparkfun/Qwiic_Py.git
sudo pip install sparkfun-qwiic
cd/Qwiic_I2C_Py
python setup.py install
cd / # back to root
sudo pip install sparkfun-qwiic-twist
