Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

This should start python and write the version number. Version must be 3.X.X.

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:

> pip install pyqt5

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.

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
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".

Install Python

Install python and the python install program pip.

Windows

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

Mac

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

Linux

install pip (Python Install Program) 

sudo apt install python3
sudo apt install pip

Install Python packages

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

MAC

The same packages are needed.

Linux

> pip install pyqt5
> pip install pyqtgraph

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
