# Installing
|
|
|
|
You're best using the "One-line" install method.
|
|
|
|
## One-line (Installs from GitHub)
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
curl -sSL https://get.pimoroni.com/grow | bash
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Note** report issues with one-line installer here: https://github.com/pimoroni/get

|
|
|
## Or... Install and configure dependencies from GitHub:
|
|
|
|
* `git clone https://github.com/pimoroni/grow-python`
|
|
* `cd grow-python`
|
|
* `sudo ./install.sh`
|
|
|
|
**Note** Raspbian Lite users may first need to install git: `sudo apt install git`
|
|
|
|
## Or... Install from PyPi and configure manually:
|
|
|
|
* Install dependencies:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|

|
|

|
|
* Enable SPI: `sudo raspi-config nonint do_spi 0`
