Update "Getting Started" Pimoroni Page with Github Link #72

The Getting Started page on Pimoroni's website has users run the following command:

curl https://get.pimoroni.com/scrollphathd | bash

This file does not appear to be at the same version as the github repo. This is evidenced in examples such as, "twitter-hashtag.py". The website's version still uses the deprecated Tweepy parameter syntax async=True, while the github repo uses the updated syntax is_async=True.

Is there any way for the website to instruct users to pull from the github instead? Or update the install script to do so?

Looks like the crux of the problem is that this library hasn't seen a new release in (over) 2 years!

I'll get that sorted.

@Gadgetoid was is the best way to upgrade this package? Via pip, apt-get, or rerunning the curl script?

Using python3 -m pip install scrollphathd --upgrade should work (or just python if you're still using 2.x). I haven't released a new version to apt yet.

Sounds good!
