install other software

I want to use the pi that's running rune audio for more things. Specifically a python3 program to measure temperature and humidity in the room .
Can anyone give me some ideas how to install python and copy my prog to the pi ?
Ive tried to install python using "pacman -Sy python" but it fails .."conflicting files"
any ideas?

PS ..the interface on my Iphone is great

Python is already there in the build. You may need to install some python modules and activate i2c / psi if you use them.

Code: Select all

python scriptname.py

Hi hcgrant & lakeuk,

Python is already there in the build.

Yes, Python 2 is also installed, so the following is also valid:

Code: Select all

python2 scriptname.py

Even so, please try to use the format which lakeuk suggested, you will then be using what is know as "Python 3".
Python 2 will probably disappear in the next version of RuneAudio.

Thanks for the answers , btw "python" didnt work but "python2" did.
I'm trying another approach .. Ive downloaded Arch for raspberry pi and I'm setting it up as a general desktop ..GUI etc.
When that's working as i like it I want to use the "cookbook" I've seen here to add rune audio to it. If and when I get that going I'll post it
Thanks again
Hugh
