on win32
+
−
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
+
−
>>> quit()
+
  
−
This should start python and write the version number. Version must be 3.X.X.
+
=== Linux ===
  
−
If not installed, then install from Microsoft store, you will probably be directed directly, if not installed.
+
install pip (Python Install Program)

sudo apt install pip

At the CMD prompt, install:

−
If everything goes well, then you are ready to run the GUI from the Python script.
+
Open a terminal window (search for 'cmd' app)

==== Linux (or Apple)====
+
At the command prompt install these packages:
  
−
If you run Linux, the above are the packages you need here too.
+
> pip install pyqt4
 +

 +
> pip install pyqtgraph
 +
> pip install numpy

I haven't tested on Apple, but maybe.

=== Linux ===
  
−
The source is on a SVN repository, if not available, then install:

 +
> pip install pyserial
 +
> pip install numpy
  
−
Install TortoiseSVN from https://subversion.apache.org
+
== Get REGBOT GUI ==
−
On left menu find "Binary packages" and from here the 'Windows' section
+
  
−
* Download TortoiseSVN
+
The REGBOT GUI is just a set of python files
−
* Install, and remember to add 'command line' support.
+
−
* restart a 'cmd' terminal after installation
+
  
−
=== get the GUI ===
+
There are two options
 +
* Get the python files from a zip-file (available in Learn)
 +
* Get the newest version from repository (SVN)
  
−
The file-browser may have support for SVN (or it can be added), in this case 'checkout' the regbot_gui on this address
+
=== From zip file ===
  
−
svn://repos.gbar.dtu.dk/jcan/regbot/regbot_gui
+
Unzip the Python files (many files (23), so keep them in a clean directory).
  
−
On Linux (and maybe Apple) install subversion (Linux: sudo apt install subversion)
+
=== From SVN repository ===
  
−
The checkout with the command
+
Make sure your PC has SVN (Apache subversion) support.
  
−
svn checkout svn://repos.gbar.dtu.dk/jcan/regbot/regbot_gui
+
===== Windows =====
  
−
=== Get GUI with command-line ===
+
Install e.g. SilkSVN (https://sliksvn.com/download/), this is a command-line interface, but there are other packages too.
  
−
At the windows command terminal, do a checkout.
+
Start a 'cmd' terminal after installation.
−
Change to the Downloads folder (makes it easier to find (under Overførsler på dansk))
+
  
−
> cd Downloads
+
===== Linux (and MAC) =====
−
> svn checkout svn://repos.gbar.dtu.dk/jcan/regbot/regbot_gui
+
  
−
=== run the GUI ===
+
sudo apt install subversion
  
−
=== The python version ===
+
==== Get the GUI Python files ====
  
−
In the regbot_gui directory, run the regbot.py script.
+
Open a terminal window, change the directory, to where you want to install, e.g. called 'svn'
−
 
+
−
* On Linux, this command line should work:
+
  
 +
mkdir svn
 +
cd svn
 +
svn checkout svn://repos.gbar.dtu.dk/jcan/regbot/regbot_gui
 
  cd regbot_gui
 
  cd regbot_gui
−
python3 regbot.py
 
  
−
* On Windows
+
There should be several Python files, including 'regbot.py'.
  
−
Find the directory in your file browser (Stifinder)
+
== Start the Regbot GUI ==
  
−
Start the file 'regbot.py' - maybe create a shortcut on the desktop.
+
Go to the directory, where the Python files are placed.
  
−
If there are errors about libraries, then check if they are installed (from the list above).
+
* Execute the 'regbot.py' file.
  
−
=== The regbot.exe version for Windows ===
+
From a terminal
  
−
A windows executable is generated (using the instructions below); this is found in a subdirectory called "dist".
+
  cd regbot_gui
−
 
+
  python3 regbot.py
−
  > 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.
+
−
 
+
−
=== Regbot GUI use===
+
−
 
+
−
See the [[User interface]]
+
−
 
+
−
 
+
−
== Make a windows EXE file ==
+
−
 
+
−
If you installed all the python stuff, you don't need the exe file.
+
−
 
+
−
To make a single exe-file without the need to install anything, then it is a bit more complicated (for me at least)
+
−
 
+
−
===Install 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 (right-click on 'cmd' and select 'as administrator') to install additional packages using 'pip'.
+
−
 
+
−
> pip install pyqt5
+
−
> pip install pyqtgraph
+
−
> pip install pyserial
+
−
> pip install pyinstaller
+
−
> exit
+
−
 
+
−
Open a 'cmd' terminal window as a normal user
+
−
 
+
−
Then make the EXE-file from the directory with the REGBOT GUI
+
−
 
+
−
> cd Downloads\regbot_gui
+
−
> 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 the error: "PyQt5.sip not found".

[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
