Build it from source like this: - -As regular user: - -```bash -sudo apt-get install liblircclient-dev -``` - -As the user that runs hass: - -```bash -(hass) $ git clone https://github.com/tompreston/python-lirc.git -(hass) $ cd python-lirc -(hass) $ make py3 -(hass) $ python3 setup.py build -(hass) $ python3 setup.py install -``` - -If you are not using a virtual environment setup, then you'll need a `sudo` before the install line above. -

If you are configuring on a Raspberry Pi, there are excellent instructions with GPIO schematics and driver configurations [here](http://alexba.in/blog/2013/01/06/setting-up-lirc-on-the-raspberrypi/). Consider following these.
