I’m on a fresh manjaro linux. I tried with bluetooth too but I got this:

[error][daemon] 'hcitool' could not be found, make sure you have bluez-utils installed.

bluez-utils is installed.

I found solution. You need to edit /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ds4drv/backends/hidraw.py like here: https://github.com/chrippa/ds4drv/pull/105/files

/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ds4drv/backends/hidraw.py

If you have python3.* installed, you may have installed ds4drv with pip3, so change the path slightly to /usr/local/lib/python3.*/dist-packages/ds4drv/backends/hidraw.py

where * is whatever version of Python 3 you’re on
