Installing Python 3
Once your brick is installed on the network using Wi-Fi it can go out on the internet like any other computer. We can use this to update software. In particular, the latest version of Python is Python 3. Unfortunately our ev3dev software only has drivers for Python 2. To install Python 3 do the following:
Log into the EV3 using ssh using the Wi-Fi method described above.
Type: sudo apt-get update
Type: sudo apt-get install python3-pil
Type: sudo python3 –m easy_install python-ev3dev
Type: sudo apt-get install xauth
Logout out of the EV3 by typing: logout
Changing the number to match your EV3, log back in by typing: ssh –X robot@10.0.1.186
