Accessing the hardware on linux requires certain permissions to be set. Due to an apparent bug with pip3, the installation script may fail to do this. For a permanent fix for regular users, please download and execute this post installation script

chmod +x postinst.sh
sudo ./postinst.sh

If this is too hard, please install the deb file linked in the following section
