Regbot GUI

Back to Regbot

NB! this page is for installing python3 version of the Regbot GUI.

install python

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

In the command window type

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.

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

Install packages

At the CMD prompt install

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

If everything goes well, then you are ready to run the GUI from the Python script.

Install SVN

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

Install TortoiseSVN from https://subversion.apache.org 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 REGBOTGUI python script

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/regbotgui

Find the directory in your file browser (Stifinder)

Start the file 'regbot.py' - may be create shortcut on the desktop.

Make a windows EXE file

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

Install python installer from the command prompt

> pip install pyinstaller

Then make the EXE-file from the directory with the REGBOT GUI (require the pyinstaller to be in the path)

> cd Downloads
> cd regbotgui
> pyinstaller --onefile regbot.py

@todo the rest
