Back to Regbot
NB! this page is for installing python3 version of the Regbot GUI.
not finished 11 jan 2021
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.
Regbot GUI
See the User interface
Make a windows EXE file
If you installed all the python stuff, then you don't need the exe file.
To make a single exe-file without need to install anything, then it is a bit more complicated (for me at least)
The Microsoft version failed in creating the exe-file
Install python
- Remove already installed python.
- Install python from https://www.python.org/downloads/ - select install for 'all users' in install options and also select 'add to path'.
After installation, start 'cmd' terminal windows as administrator (rightclick on 'cmd' select 'as administrator'), to install additional packages using 'pip'.
> pip install pyqt5 > pip install pygraph > pip install pyserial > pip install pyinstaller > exit
Open a 'cmd' terminal window as normal user
Then make the EXE-file from the directory with the REGBOT GUI
> cd Downloads > cd regbotgui > pyinstaller --onefile regbot.py
This takes some time, and the regbot.exe should be found in a 'dist' subdirectory.
