[This touchscreen](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CNJVG8K/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 "This touchscreen") requires a driver from this [github repo](https://github.com/goodtft/LCD-show.git "github repo") to operate on the GPIO pins of my RPI2. The included Jessie image w/preinstalled LCD drivers works great!

However, first timer to RasPlex I have learned it runs LibreELEC and I am not able to use ‘apt-get’, ‘git’, or even ‘raspi-config’ and my touchscreen is dead in the water without a driver (see screenshot). It runs on the GPIO ports instead of HDMI. I tested RasPlex on my HDMI monitor and it worked fine, so Plan B is to buy [this touchscreen alternative](https://www.amazon.com/Elecrow-RPA05010R-800x480-Display-Raspberry/dp/B013JECYF2/ref=sr_1_13?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1517366542&sr=1-13&keywords=raspberry+pi+touchscreen "this touchscreen alternative") instead. However, I would prefer to install this LCD driver to RasPlex.

I copied the LCD driver files on to my SD card where RasPlex is installed (contained in a .tar), but could not see them in RasPlex. With the ‘ls’ command, I can only see Plex related folders like music, movies, etc. I believe RasPlex is split into two partitions - one of which is hidden from the OS and contains folders visible to shell using the ‘ls’ command. Also, I am logging in as “root” with default password “rasplex”

Ideas appreciated! Thanks.
