Running OpenMV IDE

Before you can run openmv-ide.py for the first time, you'll need to install some additional software.

Linux Debian, Ubuntu, Mint

 $ sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0-0

Install PyUSB

 $ sudo apt-get install python-pip
 $ sudo pip install pyusb

If you are getting the following error:

   Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pyusb (from versions: 1.0.0a2, 1.0.0a2, 1.0.0a3, 1.0.0a3, 1.0.0b1)

Then use the --pre flag instead.. It tells pip to accept pre-release (alpha, beta) versions.

 $ sudo pip install --pre pyusb

Install other requried Python software

 $ sudo apt-get install python-numpy
 $ sudo pip install pySerial
 $ sudo apt-get install python-gtksourceview2

and then...

What do you get when you cross between an elephant and a rhino?
