Tasmotizer.py not found Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS

[jtroberts1]

step 1. sudo apt install python3-pip
step 2. pip3 install tasmotizer
step3. run tasmotizer.py

• Command not found

Did I miss a step? I found tasmotizer in ~/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/

I got it to work. Yeah, finally a simple tool in Linux to flash. ESPtool would never let me do a full erase in Linux, now I can finally kill my Windows VM.
Here's what I did.

• pip3 install PyQt5 pyserial (I don't think this is necessary)
• cd ~./local/bin
• sudo python3 tasmotizer.py
  • without sudo I get access denied to ttyUSB0

Works great. I was able to flash my Etekcity ESW01 outlets.

Ty for the great tool

That's interesting, because I actually developed and tested that app on Kubuntu :) I (and a few users) tried the pip installation and it worked without a hitch.

Also, instead of using sudo, append your user to dialout group. After next login you'll have R/W access without sudo.

Glad you like the tool!
