11 # Installing
12
13 You're best using the "One-line" install method if you want all of the UART serial configuration for the PMS5003 particulate matter sensor to run automatically.
14
15 **Note** The code in this repository supports both the Enviro+ and Enviro Mini boards. _The Enviro Mini board does not have the Gas sensor or the breakout for the PM sensor._

20 ## One-line (Installs from GitHub)
21
22 ```
23 curl -sSL https://get.pimoroni.com/enviroplus | bash
24 ```
25

28 ## Or... Install and configure dependencies from GitHub:
29
30 * `git clone https://github.com/pimoroni/enviroplus-python`
31 * `cd enviroplus-python`
32 * `sudo ./install.sh`
33
34 **Note** Raspbian Lite users may first need to install git: `sudo apt install git`
35
36 ## Or... Install from PyPi and configure manually:
37
38 * Run `sudo pip install enviroplus`
39
40 **Note** this wont perform any of the required configuration changes on your Pi, you may additionally need to:
41
42 * Enable i2c: `raspi-config nonint do_i2c 0`
43 * Enable SPI: `raspi-config nonint do_spi 0`
44
45 And if you're using a PMS5003 sensor you will need to:
46
47 * Enable serial: `raspi-config nonint set_config_var enable_uart 1 /boot/config.txt`
48 * Disable serial terminal: `sudo raspi-config nonint do_serial 1`
49 * Add `dtoverlay=pi3-miniuart-bt` to your `/boot/config.txt`
50
51 And install additional dependencies:
52
53 ```
54 sudo apt install python-numpy python-smbus python-pil python-setuptools
55 ```
