Description: # Installing pyhidapi
        pyhidapi is available on [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/hid/) and can be installed using pip.
        ```
        pip install hid
        ```
        
        pyhidapi is dependant upon the [hidapi library](https://github.com/libusb/hidapi), which must be installed separately.
        
        # Installing hidapi
        
        ## Linux
        Installation procedures vary depending on your distribution.
        
        ### Arch Linux
        Binary distributions are available in the community repository.
        
        1. Enable the community repository in `/etc/pacman.conf`
        ```
        [community]
        Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
        ```
        2. Install hidapi

        pacman -Sy hidapi
        ```
        
        ### CentOS/RHEL
        Binary distributions are available through [EPEL](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL).
        ```
        yum install hidapi
        ```
        
        ### Fedora
        Binary distributions are available.

        ```
        apt install libhidapi-hidraw0
        ```
        or
        ```
        apt install libhidapi-libusb0
        ```
        
        ### Others
        Binary distributions may be available in your package repositories. If not, you can build from source as described [in the libusb/hidapi README](https://github.com/libusb/hidapi#build-instructions).
        
        ## Windows
        Installation procedure for Windows is described [in the libusb/hidapi README](https://github.com/libusb/hidapi#building-on-windows)
        
        Binary distributions are provided by [libusb/hidapi](https://github.com/libusb/hidapi/releases)
        
        ## OSX
        There are currently no official binary distributions for Mac, so you must build hidapi yourself.
        
        Installation instructions are described [in the libusb/hidapi README](https://github.com/libusb/hidapi#mac)
        
        You can also use brew:
        ```
        brew install hidapi
        ```
        
        ## FreeBSD
        Binary distributions are available.
        
        ```
        pkg install -g 'py3*-hid'
        ```
        
        # Sample usage code
        
        The details about a HID device can be printed with following code:
        
        ```python
        import hid
        
        vid = 0x046d	# Change it for your device
        pid = 0xc534	# Change it for your device
        
        with hid.Device(vid, pid) as h:
        	print(f'Device manufacturer: {h.manufacturer}')
        	print(f'Product: {h.product}')
        	print(f'Serial Number: {h.serial}')
        ```
