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

In the command window type
=== Windows ===
python
Python 3.6.9 (default, Oct  8 2020, 12:12:24)
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.
Install Python from Microsoft store (Includes pip).
(Should be python version 3.x)


If not installed, then install from Microsoft store, you will probably be directed directly, if not installed.
=== Mac ===


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


At the CMD prompt install
=== Linux ===


> pip install pyqt5
install pip (Python Install Program)
> pip install pyqtgraph
> pip install pyserial


If everything goes well, then you are ready to run the GUI from the Python script.
sudo apt install python3
sudo apt install pip


==== Linux (or Apple)====
== Install Python packages ==


If you run Linux, the above are the packages you need here too.
=== Windows ===


I haven't tested on Apple, but maybe.
Open a terminal window (search for 'cmd' app)


== Get REGBOT GUI ==
At the command prompt install these packages:


===Install SVN===  
  > pip install pyqt4
> pip install pyserial
> pip install pyqtgraph
> pip install numpy


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


Install TortoiseSVN from https://subversion.apache.org
The same packages are needed.
On left menu find "Binary packages" and from here the 'Windows' section


* Download TortoiseSVN
=== Linux ===
* Install, and remember to add 'command line' support.
* restart a 'cmd' terminal after installation


=== get the GUI ===
> pip install pyqt5
> pip install pyqtgraph
> pip install pyserial
> pip install numpy


The file-browser may have support for SVN (or it can be added), in this case 'checkout' the regbot_gui on this address
== Get REGBOT GUI ==
 
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
The REGBOT GUI is just a set of python files
> svn checkout svn://repos.gbar.dtu.dk/jcan/regbot/regbot_gui


Find the directory in your file browser (Stifinder)
There are two options
* Get the python files from a zip-file (available in Learn)
* Get the newest version from repository (SVN)


Start the file 'regbot.py' - maybe create a shortcut on the desktop.
=== From zip file ===


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


See the [[User interface]]
=== From SVN repository ===


== Make a windows EXE file ==
Make sure your PC has SVN (Apache subversion) support.


If you installed all the python stuff, then you don't need the exe file.
===== Windows =====


To make a single exe-file without need to install anything, then it is a bit more complicated (for me at least)
Install e.g. SilkSVN (https://sliksvn.com/download/), this is a command-line interface, but there are other packages too.


The Microsoft version failed in creating the exe-file
Start a 'cmd' terminal after installation.


===Install python===
===== Linux (and MAC) =====


* Remove already installed python
sudo apt install subversion


* 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'.
==== Get the GUI Python files ====


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


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