== Install Python ==
== Install Python ==


On a windows computer:
Install python and the python install program pip.


Start the command window by searching for 'cmd' after pressing Start.
=== Windows ===


On a linux computer install pip (Python install program)
Install Python from Microsoft store (Includes pip).
(Should be python version 3.x)


sudo apt install pip
=== Mac ===


In the command window start python
Install Python (version 3.x)
python
Maybe it is installed by default
Python 3.6.9 (default, Oct  8 2020, 12:12:24)  
(I have no MAC)
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)


=== Install packages ===
sudo apt install python3
sudo apt install pip


At the CMD prompt, install:
== Install Python packages ==


> pip install pyqt5
=== Windows ===
> pip install pyqtgraph
> pip install pyserial


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 pyserial
> pip install pyqtgraph
> pip install numpy


I haven't tested on Apple, but maybe.
=== MAC ===


== Get REGBOT GUI ==
The same packages are needed.


===Install SVN===
=== Linux ===


The source is on a SVN repository, if not available, then install:
> pip install pyqt5
> pip install pyqtgraph
> 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
* Install, and remember to add 'command line' support.
* restart a 'cmd' terminal after installation
 
=== get the GUI ===
 
The file-browser may have support for SVN (or it can be added), in this case 'checkout' the regbot_gui on this address
 
svn://repos.gbar.dtu.dk/jcan/regbot/regbot_gui
 
=== Get REGBOT GUI python script using the command-line ===
 
At the windows command terminal, do a checkout.
Change to the Downloads folder (makes it easier to find (under Overførsler på dansk))
 
> cd Downloads
> svn checkout svn://repos.gbar.dtu.dk/jcan/regbot/regbot_gui
 
Find the directory in your file browser (Stifinder)
 
Start the file 'regbot.py' - maybe create a shortcut on the desktop.
 
=== Regbot GUI use===
 
See the [[User interface]]
 
== Use regbot.exe for Windows ==


A windows executable is generated (using the instructions below); this is found in a subdirectory called "dist".
The REGBOT GUI is just a set of python files


> cd Downloads
There are two options
> cd regbot
* Get the python files from a zip-file (available in Learn)
> cd regbot_gui
* Get the newest version from repository (SVN)
> cd dist
> regbot


=== From zip file ===


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


Use the browser to locate the file and execute it.
=== From SVN repository ===
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 sure your PC has SVN (Apache subversion) support.


== Make a windows EXE file ==
===== Windows =====


If you installed all the python stuff, then you don't need the exe file.
Install e.g. SilkSVN (https://sliksvn.com/download/), this is a command-line interface, but there are other packages too.


To make a single exe-file without need to install anything, then it is a bit more complicated (for me at least)
Start a 'cmd' terminal after installation.


The Microsoft version failed in creating the exe-file
===== Linux (and MAC) =====


===Install python===
sudo apt install subversion


* Remove already installed python
==== Get the GUI Python files ====


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


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).
  mkdir svn
 
  cd svn
  > pip install pyqt5
  svn checkout svn://repos.gbar.dtu.dk/jcan/regbot/regbot_gui
  > pip install pyqtgraph
  cd regbot_gui
  > pip install pyserial
> pip install pyinstaller
  > exit


Open a 'cmd' terminal window as normal user
There should be several Python files, including 'regbot.py'.


Then make the EXE-file from the directory with the REGBOT GUI
== Start the Regbot GUI ==


> cd Downloads\regbotgui
Go to the directory, where the Python files are placed.
> pyinstaller --onefile regbot.py


This takes some time, and the regbot.exe should be found in a 'dist' subdirectory.
* Execute the 'regbot.py' file.


Try:
From a terminal
> cd dist
> regbot.exe


PS! tried also with Python 3.9, but regbot.exe failed with error: "PyQt5.sip not found".
cd regbot_gui
python3 regbot.py

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
