Installing gphoto2
Jun 2017
Well luckily this couldn't be simpler. From a terminal, just use the following syntax.
sudo apt-get install gphoto2 -y
For some reason, this took around 2 minutes to install on my Raspberry Pi Zero, but it did successfully install. I got the following output during installation:
<sxh [text][; options for SyntaxHighlighter]>
