[edit] Install Python

Install python and the python install program pip.

[edit] Windows

Install Python from Microsoft store (Includes pip). (Should be python version 3.x)

[edit] Mac

Install Python (version 3.x) Maybe it is installed by default (I have no MAC)

[edit] Linux

install pip (Python Install Program)

sudo apt install python3
sudo apt install pip

[edit] Install Python packages

[edit] Windows

Open a terminal window (search for 'cmd' app)

At the command prompt install these packages:

> pip install pyqt4
> pip install pyserial
> pip install pyqtgraph
> pip install numpy

[edit] MAC

The same packages are needed.

[edit] Linux

> pip install pyqt5
> pip install pyqtgraph
> pip install pyserial
> pip install numpy

[edit] 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)

[edit] From zip file

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

[edit] From SVN repository

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

[edit] 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.

[edit] Linux (and MAC)

sudo apt install subversion

[edit] 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'.

[edit] 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

-===Install SVN===
+The REGBOT GUI is just a set of python files
-The source is on a SVN repository, if not available, then install:
+There are two options
+* Get the python files from a zip-file (available in Learn)
+* Get the newest version from repository (SVN)
-Install TortoiseSVN from https://subversion.apache.org
+=== From zip file ===
-On left menu find "Binary packages" and from here the 'Windows' section
-* Download TortoiseSVN
+Unzip the Python files (many files (23), so keep them in a clean directory).
-* Install, and remember to add 'command line' support.
-* restart a 'cmd' terminal after installation
-=== get the GUI ===
+=== From SVN repository ===
-The file-browser may have support for SVN (or it can be added), in this case 'checkout' the regbot_gui on this address
+Make sure your PC has SVN (Apache subversion) support.
- svn://repos.gbar.dtu.dk/jcan/regbot/regbot_gui
+===== Windows =====
-On Linux (and maybe Apple) install subversion (Linux: sudo apt install subversion)

+sudo apt install subversion
-=== Get GUI with command-line ===
+==== Get the GUI Python files ====
-At the windows command terminal, do a checkout.
+Open a terminal window, change the directory, to where you want to install, e.g. called 'svn'
-Change to the Downloads folder (makes it easier to find (under Overførsler på dansk))
-  > cd Downloads
+  mkdir svn
-  > svn checkout svn://repos.gbar.dtu.dk/jcan/regbot/regbot_gui
+ 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'.
-=== Regbot GUI use===
+== Start the Regbot GUI ==
-See the [[User interface]]
+Go to the directory, where the Python files are placed.
-=== run the GUI ===
+* Execute the 'regbot.py' file.
-=== The python version ===
+From a terminal
-In the regbot_gui directory, run the regbot.py script.
-* On Linux, this command line should work:
   cd regbot_gui
   python3 regbot.py
-* On Windows
-Find the directory in your file browser (Stifinder)
-Start the file 'regbot.py' - maybe create a shortcut on the desktop.
-If there are errors about libraries, then check if they are installed (from the list above).
-=== The regbot.exe version for Windows ===
-A windows executable is generated (using the instructions below); this is found in a subdirectory called "dist".
- > cd Downloads
- > cd regbot
- > cd regbot_gui
- > cd dist
- > regbot
-Use the browser to locate the file and execute it.
-As it also holds all the needed python-libraries, it takes a long time to start.
-NB! the version from 2022 does not work anymore, it has to have a date from 2023.
-== Make a windows EXE file ==
-If you installed all the python stuff, then you don't need the exe file.
-To make a single exe-file without need to install anything, then it is a bit more complicated (for me at least)
-The Microsoft version failed in creating the exe-file
-===Install python===
-* Remove already installed python
-* Install python (tested with version 3.8) from https://www.python.org/downloads/ - select 'all users' in install options and also select 'add to path'.
-After installation, start 'cmd' terminal windows as administrator (rightclick on 'cmd' select 'as administrator'), to install additional packages using 'pip'. (may work as user - i Haven't tested).
- > pip install pyqt5
- > pip install pyqtgraph
- > pip install pyserial
- > pip install pyinstaller
- > exit
-Open a 'cmd' terminal window as normal user
-Then make the EXE-file from the directory with the REGBOT GUI
- > cd Downloads\regbotgui
- > pyinstaller --onefile regbot.py
-This takes some time, and the regbot.exe should be found in a 'dist' subdirectory.
-Try:
- > cd dist
- > regbot.exe
-PS! tried also with Python 3.9, but regbot.exe failed with error: "PyQt5.sip not found".
