This package contains an heterogeneous set of I2C tools for the Linux kernel.
These tools were originally part of the lm-sensors project but were finally
split into their own package for convenience. They compile, run and have been
tested on GNU/Linux.
Enable snaps on Ubuntu and install snappy-i2c-tools
Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
For versions of Ubuntu between 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) and 15.10 (Wily Werewolf), as well as Ubuntu flavours that don’t include snap by default, snap can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Centre by searching for snapd.
Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
