Installing Python Trezor API on Ubuntu Linux (17.10)

This proved to be quite tricky. I did so for Python 2 and Python 3. Here are my notes:

Setup for Chrome:

$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/51-trezor.rules

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="534c", ATTR{idProduct}=="0001", MODE="0666", GROUP="dialout", SYMLINK+="trezor%n"
KERNEL=="hidraw*", ATTRS{idVendor}=="534c", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0001",  MODE="0666", GROUP="dialout"

(ref: https://doc.satoshilabs.com/trezor-user/settingupchromeonlinux.html#manual-configuration-of-udev-rules)

All:

sudo apt-get install -y build-essential libusb-1.0-0-dev libusb-dev

Python 2:

• sudo apt-get install -y python-dev virtualenv
• virtualenv --no-setuptools --no-wheel --no-pip --no-site-packages
• . ./virtualenv/bin/activate
• wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
• python ./getpip.py
• pip install Cython
• pip instal trezor

Python 3:

• sudo apt-get install -y python3-dev python-venv
• python3 -m venv virtualenv
• . ./virtualenv/bin/activate
• pip install wheel
• pip install --upgrade setuptools
• pip install hidapi
• pip install trezor
