Sudo blinkstick —info: command not found

Trying to run a blinkstick on a Raspberry Pi, and I am getting this errror, when running the sudo blinkstick —info: sudo: blinkstick: command not found

Also when trying to run a .py script that contains the bstick code, it return me this:
usb.core.USBError: [Errno 13] Access denied (insufficient permissions)

I followed the steps here: BlinkStick | BlinkStick and Raspberry Pi integration

Any ideas on how to get this fixed?

Have you found any solution to this problem? I’m getting the same “command not found” error when trying to run blinkstick commands in the terminal on Mac OS, and I get ‘No backend available’ in my Python IDE. I’ve been pulling my hair out uninstalling and reinstalling libusb, pip, and blinkstick with no success even with my Windows machine too.

As a quick solution to this problem, please use the following command to install blinkstick-python module:

pip3 install https://github.com/arvydas/blinkstick-python/archive/refs/heads/master.zip

I’m in the process of releasing the new version of python module which addresses all issues.

Hello,

I’m also getting the error usb.core.USBError: [Errno 13] Access denied (insufficient permissions)

I ran the command as arvydas indicated
pip3 install https:// github.com/arvydas/blinkstick-python/archive/refs/heads/master.zip

Collecting pyusb>=1.0.0
Installing collected packages: pyusb
Successfully installed pyusb-1.2.1

And I still get the same error:

usb.core.USBError: [Errno 13] Access denied (insufficient permissions)

How do we get this resolved?
