This should install all necessary dependencies. Apart from that python-escpos should also be
|

available as a Debian package. If you want to always benefit from the newest stable releases you should probably
|

install from PyPi.

Enabling tab-completion in CLI
|
||||
------------------------------
|
||||
python-escpos has a CLI with tab-completion. This is realised with ``argcomplete``.
|
||||
In order for this to work you have to enable tab-completion, which is described in
|
||||
the `manual of argcomplete <https://argcomplete.readthedocs.io>`__.
|
||||
|
||||
* Clone python-escpos from github
|
||||
* Change directory to python-escpos and install the package
|
||||
If you only want to enable it for python-escpos, or global activation does not work, try this:
|
||||
|
||||
::
|
||||
::
|
||||
|
||||
# cd python-escpos
|
||||
# python setup.py build
|
||||
# sudo python setup.py install
|
||||
|
||||
* Enjoy !!!
