 To allow Home Assistant to talk to your IR receiver, you need to first make sure you have the correct dependencies installed:
 
 ```bash
-$ sudo apt-get install lirc python3-lirc
+$ sudo apt-get install lirc liblircclient-dev
 ```
 
-Check the version of `python3-lirc`:
-
-```bash
-$ apt-cache show python3-lirc
-Package: python3-lirc
-Source: python-lirc
-Version: 1.2.1-2
-```
-
-If you do not have this version or you are running in a virtual environment, then your system will completely freeze with this component active. You will need to build `python3-lirc` from source. The version of this library in the Python package index is also broken, so the typical dependency system cannot fix this. Build it from source like this:
-
-As regular user:
-
-```bash
-sudo apt-get install liblircclient-dev
-```
-
-As the user that runs hass:
-
-```bash
-(hass) $  git clone https://github.com/tompreston/python-lirc.git
-(hass) $  cd python-lirc
-(hass) $  make py3
-(hass) $  python3 setup.py build
-(hass) $  python3 setup.py install
-```
-
-If you are not using a virtual environment setup, then you'll need a `sudo` before the install line above.

 If you are configuring on a Raspberry Pi, there are excellent instructions with GPIO schematics and driver configurations [here](http://alexba.in/blog/2013/01/06/setting-up-lirc-on-the-raspberrypi/). Consider following these.
