Running Demo Code

To run the demo code, perform the following on VisionFive 2 or VisionFive 2 Lite Debian:

Locate to the directory where the test code, LED_Matrix.py, exists:
1. Source into the Python3 Virtual Environment:
```
source ./myvenv/bin/activate
```
2. Execute the following command to install dependency:
```
python3 -m pip install pillow
```
3. Execute the following command to get the directory where VisionFive.gpio exists:
```
python3 -m pip show VisionFive.gpio
```
  Result:
```
Location: /home/user/myvenv/lib/python3.11/site-packages
```
  Note:
  The actual output depends on how the application is installed.
4. Execute the following to enter the directory, for example, /home/user/myvenv/lib/python3.11/site-packages as indicated in the previous step output:
```
cd /home/user/myvenv/lib/python3.11/site-packages
```
5. Execute the following command to enter the sample-code directory:
```
cd ./VisionFive/sample-code/
```
Under the sample-code directory, execute the following command to run the demo code:
```
sudo python LED_Matrix.py
```
Alternatively, you can execute the following command:
```
sudo python3 LED_Matrix.py
```
Result:
The Led Matrix module displays with the StarFive logo.
