Does not work with Blinka

If running on a RPI with Blinka then all circup CLI fail since it does not find circuitpython.

Circup is made to work with microcontrollers. It does not support the Raspberry Pi or Blinka compatibility layer devices.

You can use pip to install circuitpython libraries on a rasperry pi. The process is very similar to circup
