pip install deckster-sd
The install process will create a default config.json to your ~/.config/deckster folder.
Install dependencies and add permissions:
# Install system packages needed for the default LibUSB HIDAPI backend
sudo apt install -y libudev-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev libhidapi-libusb0
# Install system packages needed for the Python Pillow package installation
sudo apt install -y libjpeg-dev zlib1g-dev libopenjp2-7 libtiff5
# Add udev rule to allow all users non-root access to Elgato StreamDeck devices:
sudo tee /etc/udev/rules.d/10-streamdeck.rules << EOF
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0fd9", GROUP="users", TAG+="uaccess"
EOF# Reload udev rules to ensure the new permissions take effect
sudo udevadm control --reload-rulesService
