[PROBLEM] Fan control - GPIO pins not working

[the_redburn]

For the record, the easiest way to install RPi.GPIO is with

Terminal

sudo xbian-config

Look in package > python

To install a pre-release of RPi.GPIO, do

Terminal

sudo apt-get install python-dev

then

Terminal

pip install RPi.GPIO==[version]

If you go to https://pypi.org/project/RPi.GPIO/#history then click on the version you want, the command will be shown at the top of the page.

By the way, 0.7.1a4 or later is needed for Raspberry 4 support.

I forgot to mention that root is currently needed on xbian for GPIO access.
See https://github.com/xbianonpi/xbian/issues/898 for non root access.
