Guide by Tim; Control Multiple Fully-Addressable WS2812B RGB LED Strips with a Raspberry Pi Single Board Computer

Hey Jake.

Good question.
I’m assuming you’re running raspberry pi os.

Pip, a package manager old enough to default on a mortgage in the peak of the GFC, hasn’t exactly figured out a graceful way of managing virtual environments.

I’ve found pipx to work for me, which does attempt to handle virtual environments for you.

You may find the solution following his process and see if there is a step you missed.
