install the software for I2C on Banana PI

[Givi]

Team,

I been trying to follow the web pages and install the software for I2C on Banana PI, with Rasbian OS.  Certain parts work as expected, but I am not able to complete everything with satisfaction.  For example in "https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/latest/installation.html"  it seems I am not able to :

$ tar xvfz virtualenv-X.X.tar.gz

It returns :

gzip: stdin: not in gzip format

tar: child returned status 1

tar: Error is not recoverable: existing now

OR, " i2cdetect -y 0" returns :

"UU" in column "4" Row "30:"

Only " i2cdetect -y 2" returns :

"20" in column "0" Row "20:"

Which might be expected due to some differences in Rasberry PI and Banana PI.  However, its been frustrating just to install the software.  When I list the Modules in "python3", there is no sign of "quick2wire.gpio" or anything like it. 

Any assistance is appreciated.

Regards,

Givi

I don't have a BananaPi, but...

...sounds like your file didn't download properly (perhaps it got
corrupted, or perhaps the link you're trying to use is now stale).

Ahh, the link in your original message didn't work, but I've just
found http://virtualenv.readthedocs.org/en/latest/installation.html

Where it says "X.X" in the filenames it doesn't literally mean "X.X",
but whatever the latest version on
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenv/ says, e.g. you'd want to
replace all the "X.X" with "14.0.6" e.g.
https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/v/virtualenv/virtualenv-14.0.6.tar.gz


If you're not familiar with running Linux commands, then you'll find
much more help and advice for the Raspberry Pi than the Banana Pi, as
it has a *much* bigger community (and better support IMHO from its
creators).
https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/linux/ might be a good starting point.

Hi Andrew,

I feel kinda stupid now.  I follow direction and there is nothing mentioned that we need to put in a version number in that file name etc.  But that is OK.  I appreciate you replying to my Post.  I was kinda wondering why all the posts are so old and there is no activity.  I Felt like I am in a ghost town.  I'll try your suggestions tonight.  Do you mind if I ask a few more questions later and keep in touch?  Please let me know.

Regards,

Givi
