RGB LED Python Package
2-
======================
3-
This fork was created to smooth installation of the Python rpi-rgb-led-matrix
4-
bindings (rgbmatrix). Wheel is built on Python 3.11 on a Pi3 - which should work
5-
for all intended use cases but has not been thoroughly tested. I'm purely an
6-
amateur so welcome someone with more skill and experience picking this up and
7-
improving it.

As the originating library does not actually version, the package version is using
10-
the package's version (0.0.1) plus the date of the last commit as the version.

The entire repository itself is PIP-able and can be installed as a package directly.
177+
```
178+
pip install git+https://github.com/hzeller/rpi-rgb-led-matrix
179+
```
180+
While convenient, this won't install the demo executables (discussed below) which can be helpful for testing hardware.
181+
If you want to have `demo` available, clone the repo, build, then run pip against the local clone.
182+
```
183+
git clone https://github.com/hzeller/rpi-rgb-led-matrix
184+
cd rpi-rgb-led-matrix; make
185+
pip install .
