AYAB - All Yarns Are Beautiful

This is the GUI interface for AYAB.

For information on how to install the release version of the software, see http://manual.ayab-knitting.com

Running from Source & Development

Linux

You need Python 3.5 and from your package manager's repository. The other main dependencies can be found in requirements.txt

For Debian/Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install python3-pip python3-dev python3-virtualenv python3-gi

For openSUSE

sudo zypper install python3-pip python3-virtualenv python3-gi

All Distributions

To be able to communicate with your Arduino, it might be necessary to add the rights for USB communication by adding your user to some groups.

sudo usermod -a -G tty [userName]
sudo usermod -a -G dialout [userName]

To install the development version you can checkout the git repository

git clone https://github.com/AllYarnsAreBeautiful/ayab-desktop

Create a virtual enviroment in the cloned repository

cd ayab-desktop
virtualenv -p python3 --system-site-packages venv/
source venv/bin/activate
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Now start ayab with

python3 -m fbs run

To be able to work on GUI elements and translation files, the Qt Dev tools are needed also:

sudo apt-get install qttools5-dev-tools

Windows

You need Python Version 3.5.3 (Important: the 64 bit version!) and PyQt5 (we used 5.11.3).

Download and install Python 3.5.3 (64 bit) (pip is already contained in this installer) from https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/ (https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.5.3/python-3.5.3-amd64.exe)

You may also need PyWin32 (https://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/pywin32/).

You can checkout the git repository with

git clone https://github.com/AllYarnsAreBeautiful/ayab-desktop

Create a virtual enviroment in the cloned repository

cd ayab-desktop
virtualenv venv/
venv\Scripts\activate

Then install the remaining prerequisites with

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Now start ayab with

python -m fbs run

macOS

You need Python 3.5.3 and PyQt5. For Python I would recommend pyenv You can install it using Homebrew

brew install pyenv
brew install pyenv-virtualenv

You also need the Xcode command line tools installed (xcode-select --install). Once these have been installed, you need to get the Python version installed

env PYTHON_CONFIGURE_OPTS="--enable-framework" CFLAGS="-I$(xcrun --show-sdk-path)/usr/include" pyenv install 3.5.3

To install the development version you can checkout the git repository

git clone https://github.com/AllYarnsAreBeautiful/ayab-desktop

Create a virtual enviroment in the cloned repository

cd ayab-desktop
pyenv virtualenv 3.5.3 venv
pyenv activate venv

(If the pyenv commands don't work out, you probably have to add

eval "$(pyenv init -)"
eval "$(pyenv virtualenv-init -)"

to your ~/.bash_profile)

Then install the remaining prerequisites with

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

To solve pip3 SSL:TLSV1_ALERT_PROTOCOL_VERSION problem:

curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | python3

Now start ayab with

python3 -m fbs run

To be able to work on GUI elements and translation files, the Qt Dev tools are needed also:
