sudo pip3 install --upgrade setuptools
```
* If this fails, try this and repeat step 1
```
sudo apt-get install python3-pip
```
* Recommended, but may not be required, setting your Python install to default with Python 3. There are multiple ways to do this, here's an example:
```
sudo apt-get install -y python3 git python3-pip
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python $(which python2) 1
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python $(which python3) 2
sudo update-alternatives --config python

2. Enabling I2C and SPI, which is only required to be done **once** for **each** Raspberry Pi:\
**Only Required if you are using multiple devices on your Raspberry Pi, if not, move to step 3**\
**Important:**\
**Important:**
> If you are using a GPIO wiring setup for the LEDs that does not support I2C, you will not see anything show up for the LEDS.\
> Again, this is only for if you have **OTHER** devices you plan on hooking up to make sure they still show up under I2C\
> Again, this is only for if you have **OTHER** devices you plan on hooking up to make sure they still show up under I2C
* Enabling I2C:
* From Command Line:
```
sudo apt-get install -y python-smbus
sudo apt-get install -y i2c-tools
sudo raspi-config
```
```
sudo apt-get install -y python-smbus
sudo apt-get install -y i2c-tools
sudo raspi-config
```
* Interfacing Options > I2C > Enable > Yes
> If you did not hit "finish" you can repeat these steps but change out the I2C for the SPI
* Enabling SPI:
