Installation

Install the required packages:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git python3-pip python3-dev python3-setuptools

Install PiPower 5

sudo python install.py

Note: This will also install a dashboard to monitor the PiPower 5 and your Raspberry Pi. If you don't need it, you can add a flag --disable-dashboard to the installation command.

sudo python install.py --disable-dashboard

Or you can uninstall the dashboard later by cli

sudo pipower5 --remove-dashboard
