-```
-```bash
-sudo make build-python PYTHON=$(which python3)
-```
-```bash
-cd bindings/python
-sudo python3 setup.py install
-```
-Test it with:
-```bash
-python3 -c 'from rgbmatrix import RGBMatrix, RGBMatrixOptions; print("Success!")'
-```
-
-## Important: Sound Module Configuration
-
-1. Remove unnecessary services that might interfere with the LED matrix:
-```bash
-sudo apt-get remove bluez bluez-firmware pi-bluetooth triggerhappy pigpio
-```
-
-2. Blacklist the sound module:
-```bash
-cat <<EOF | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-rgb-matrix.conf
-blacklist snd_bcm2835
-EOF
-```
-
-then execute
-
-```bash
-sudo update-initramfs -u
-```
-
-3. Reboot:
-```bash
