With my raspbian I used to use the command gpio. Unfortunately, I forgot how I installed it, or if it came installed by default in Raspbian.

Now I'm playing with UbuntuCore for RaspberryPi, and I have the need of using this command again, but it's not clear how to install it.

By googling around, I've seen people recommending installing these packages:

sudo apt-get install python-pip python-dev
sudo pip install RPi.GPIO
sudo pip install wiringPi
sudo pip install gpio

But that doesn't bring the gpio command, apparently.

The commands I want to launch via gpio are this kind:

gpio mode 0 out
gpio write 0 1
gpio write 0 0

How can I install gpio?

A little bit late, but as can be found here: http://wiringpi.com/download-and-install/ simply type

sudo apt-get install wiringpi

This installs the gpio command.

sudo pip install won't work, because it is NOT a Python program.

The following answer explains how to install it and also how to get the missing man pages. https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/a/51378/8697

I think your pip is pip3 you can try this code.

sudo apt install python-pip3 python-dev
sudo pip3 install RPi.GPIO
sudo pip3 install wiringPi
sudo pip3 install gpio

This is wiringpi.com.

As of the end of 2023, you'll not find anything here anymore. It's gone.

Email if you want - if you know my email address. Work it out.
