MAVR v0.1

How to install

1. Install pip (python package manager)

# Manjaro Linux
sudo pacman -S python-pip 

# Ubuntu
sudo apt install python-pip

2. Set up virtualenv (a tool for creating isolated directories for installing project-specific python dependencies)

sudo pip install virtualenv  

# create a virtual environment for MAVR, where all its package dependencies will be installed,
# we tell it to use python 2.7
virtualenv ~/.virtualenvs/MAVR --python=python2.7 

# activates the MAVR virtual environment, now every "pip install" command will install packages into this virtual 
# environment (folder), and every python execution will look up packages from this environment
. ~/.virtualenvs/MAVR/bin/activate 

3. Use pip to install MAVR directly from GitHub

pip install -e git+https://github.com/mahajrod/MAVR#egg=MAVR 

Troubleshooting

The following packages are required by some of the pip dependencies: gcc and tk

# Manjaro Linux
sudo pacman -S gcc # installs gcc which is required for one of the dependencies of MAVR
sudo pacman -S tk # required by matplotlib

# Ubuntu
sudo apt install gcc
sudo apt install tk
