I am stuck on installing evdev==1.6.0 python package on my Ubuntu20.04(Focal) AMD64 machine.
Firstly, I tried
$ pip install evdev==1.6.0
and then, I got a error message below.
Collecting evdev Using cached evdev-1.6.1.tar.gz (26 kB) Preparing metadata (setup.py) ... doneBuilding wheels for collected packages: evdev Building wheel for evdev (setup.py) ... error error: subprocess-exited-with-error× python setup.py bdist_wheel did not run successfully.│ exit code: 1╰─> [37 lines of output] running bdist_wheel running build running build_py creating build creating build/lib.linux-x86_64-cpython-37 creating build/lib.linux-x86_64-cpython-37/evdev copying evdev/util.py -> build/lib.linux-x86_64-cpython-37/evdev copying evdev/device.py -> build/lib.linux-x86_64-cpython-37/evdev copying evdev/ff.py -> build/lib.linux-x86_64-cpython-37/evdev copying evdev/eventio_async.py -> build/lib.linux-x86_64-cpython-37/evdev copying evdev/eventio.py -> build/lib.linux-x86_64-cpython-37/evdev copying evdev/events.py -> build/lib.linux-x86_64-cpython-37/evdev copying evdev/ecodes.py -> build/lib.linux-x86_64-cpython-37/evdev copying evdev/evtest.py -> build/lib.linux-x86_64-cpython-37/evdev copying evdev/__init__.py -> build/lib.linux-x86_64-cpython-37/evdev copying evdev/uinput.py -> build/lib.linux-x86_64-cpython-37/evdev copying evdev/genecodes.py -> build/lib.linux-x86_64-cpython-37/evdev running build_ext running build_ecodes The 'linux/input.h' and 'linux/input-event-codes.h' include files are missing. You will have to install the kernel header files in order to continue: yum install kernel-headers-$(uname -r) apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) emerge sys-kernel/linux-headers pacman -S kernel-headers In case they are installed in a non-standard location, you may use the '--evdev-headers' option to specify one or more colon-separated paths. For example: python setup.py \ build \ build_ecodes --evdev-headers path/input.h:path/input-event-codes.h \ build_ext --include-dirs path/ \ install [end of output] note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip. ERROR: Failed building wheel for evdev Running setup.py clean for evdevFailed to build evdevERROR: Could not build wheels for evdev, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects
Following the message I tried
$sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
and the message said it is up-to-date.

Does anyone know a solution or something to try next?
