Get REGBOT GUI

The REGBOT GUI is just a set of python files

There are two options

• Get the python files from a zip-file (available in Learn)
• Get the newest version from repository (SVN)

From zip file

Unzip the Python files (many files (23), so keep them in a clean directory).

From SVN repository

Make sure your PC has SVN (Apache subversion) support.

Windows

Install e.g. SilkSVN (https://sliksvn.com/download/), this is a command-line interface, but there are other packages too.

Start a 'cmd' terminal after installation.

Linux (and MAC)

sudo apt install subversion

Get the GUI Python files

Open a terminal window, change the directory, to where you want to install, e.g. called 'svn'

mkdir svn
cd svn
svn checkout svn://repos.gbar.dtu.dk/jcan/regbot/regbot_gui
cd regbot_gui

There should be several Python files, including 'regbot.py'.

Start the Regbot GUI

Go to the directory, where the Python files are placed.

• Execute the 'regbot.py' file.

From a terminal

cd regbot_gui
python3 regbot.py
