Having issues with installing on dietpi
Getting this error
sudo bash install.sh

Can’t initialise pigpio library

sudo apt-get install python-smbus
sudo apt-get install pigpio python-pigpio python3-pigpio
You will need to create a user named pi on the device…
or you could change it to
USER_RUN_FILE=/home/dietpi/.bashrc

@reboot python /home/dietpi/x735-v2.5/pwm_fan_control.py
You should specify full path to the python executable

You could find your python executable like which python
