AMG8833 Thermal Camera Project Error

[Cicero80]

Good evening!

Could somebody tell me what I might be doing wrong?

I'm putting together a Raspberry Pi Thermal Camera using the AMG8833, following the instructions here: https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-amg ... mal-camera. I'm have successfully connected the PiTFT (it works) and hooked up the AMG8833 to the Pi (sudo i2cdetect -y 1 produces the correct result).

At that point, however, when I run this code:
cd ~/
git clone https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_AMG88xx_python.git
cd Adafruit_AMG88xx_python/examples
sudo python thermal_cam.py

...I get this:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ git clone https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_AMG88xx_python.git

ImportError: No module named Adafruit_AMG88xx

Someone else appears to have had the same problem (viewtopic.php?f=19&t=125768), but there was no solution and I thought it best not to resurrect what might be a dead thread.

In case it matters, I have gotten the same error when using both the 13 Mar 2018 and the 29 June 2018 Raspian images.

I appreciate any help!
