Install Phidget Drivers for macOS

Before getting started with the guides below, ensure you have the following components installed on your machine:

1. You will need the Phidgets macOS Drivers
2. You will need a version of Python installed on your machine (both 2.7 and 3.6+ are compatible with Phidgets).

The recommended way to install the Phidget22 Python module is using the PIP package manager.

Python versions 2.7.9+ and 3.4+ include PIP by default.

To install the Phidget22 Python module with PIP, simply open the Terminal and enter the command:

python -m pip install Phidget22

To install the Phidget22 Python module without PIP, you will need to download the Phidget22 Python module.

After unpacking the Phidget Python module, open the terminal (Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal). Locate the folder containing the Python module and enter the following command:

python setup.py install

This will build the module and install the Python module files into your site-packages directory.
