Hello! Could you help me to start test GPIO app on Python? I’am install Pip, Jetson.GPIO, and PyCharm on Ubuntu and then try to start app, but had next error “ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘Jetson’” on this line “import Jetson.GPIO as GPIO”. I’am check Python installation with this commands: python --version and got result - Python 3.6.10 And after library install, i check this :pip search Jetson and got: Jetson.GPIO (2.0.8) - A module to control Jetson GPIO channels INSTALLED: 2.0.8 (latest) then i’am call this commands sudo groupadd -f -r gpio sudo usermod -a -G gpio m.gladyshev sudo cp /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/Jetson/GPIO/99-gpio.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/ sudo udevadm control --reload-rules && sudo udevadm trigger What i’am doing wrong? ---

hello \_Minary, 1. you may refer to [Jetson-GPIO](https://github.com/NVIDIA/jetson-gpio), it’s a python library that enables the use of Jetson’s GPIOs; 2. please also check the developer guide, [Configuring the 40-Pin Expansion Header](https://docs.nvidia.com/jetson/archives/l4t-archived/l4t-3243/index.html#page/Tegra%2520Linux%2520Driver%2520Package%2520Development%2520Guide%2Fhw_setup_jetson_io.html) to enable Jetson‑IO for configuration. thanks ---

Hello, Jerry. As I understand, i’am following steps in library installation readme, but dont have result. Maybe I can check installation status of components with some commands? ---

My problem is in settings of Python Interpreter. In PyChar Settings must to choose installed Interpreter with all libraries (In my case /usr/bin/python3.6) ---

hello \_Minary, may I know which JetPack release version you’re working with? are you using default JetPack release image or you’d already done some customization. thanks ---
