The install.sh script does not install the rpi-ws281x Python library due to a server outage

[JardaG]

The following code is used in the install.sh script:
SOFT = $ (pip search rpi-ws281x | grep "INSTALLED")
which, however, is currently failing due to a failure on the part of PyPI's search backends, pls. see the error listing below.

I suggest using this code instead.
SOFT = $ (pip list | grep "rpi-ws281x")
Or better yet, replace pip call with pip3 everywhere, which solves incorrect include when running other scripts using python3, especially in smartups.service.

	SOFT = $ (pip3 list | grep "rpi-ws281x")
	if [ -z "$SOFT" ]; then
		pip3 install rpi-ws281x
