Installation

Pre-requisite: LibUSB HIDAPI Backend

A HID backend is required to interact with the StreamDeck, otherwise you will encounter errors such as:

StreamDeck.DeviceManager.ProbeError: ('Probe failed to find any functional HID backend.', {'libusb': TransportError("No suitable LibUSB HIDAPI library found on this system. Is the 'libhidapi-libusb.so' library installed?")})                                         

Ubuntu

Install the following:

sudo install -y libudev-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev libhidapi-libusb0

# udev rule to allow all users non-root access to Elgato StreamDeck devices:
sudo usermod -a -G plugdev `whoami`
sudo tee /etc/udev/rules.d/10-streamdeck.rules << EOF
