I bought a zero 2W as I need to control something using GPIOs via ethernet, I'm new to pi.
I think I have pigpio installed now but the daemon won't start: Failed to start pigpiod.service: Unit pigpiod.service not found.
Looking at pigpio installation instructions on the gpiozero page it says you must first enable Remote GPIO in RP Configuration, I thought this was maybe my problem but when I go to Config, there is no such option?? Last one is '1 Wire'.
The OS is Debian GNU/Linux 13 (trixie) and I am working via pi connect screen share.
Any guidance appreciated.
