Installation guide

Dependencies

Py4bot is entirely written in python, and uses some third-party modules:

• ​evdev, for usb devices handling
• ​numpy, for matrix and other maths

evdev will be automatically installed with Py4bot, as it is not yet in debian stable.

For numpy, install it from debian with:

$ sudo apt install python-numpy

If you can't find the package in your distro, install it from source:

$ [sudo] pip install numpy

Build source archive

If you downloaded Py4bot Git version, use the following command at Py4bot root:

$ python setup.py sdist

The archive will be build in the dist/ directory.

Install source archive

Once you have a source archive, either build from Git or downloaded from stable version, install the framework with:

$ pip install <path to>/Py4bot-<version>.tar.gz

To update the Git version, use, at Py4bot root:

$ git pull

Then, re-build the source archive, as described above.

Finally:

$ pip uninstall Py4bot
$ pip install <path to>/Py4bot-<version>.tar.gz
