Installing Python

The Omega supports Python, we recommend installing the light version to save on space.

Steps to Install

Connect to the Omega’s terminal either using SSH or Serial.

Run the following commands on the terminal:

opkg update
opkg install python-light

This will take about 2MB of space on the Omega

###Python3

opkg update
opkg install python3-light

Then you have to run the right executable (python3). You can do a symbolic link to python so you just have to type python in the command line to run the interpreter.
