Install python, pip and other dependencies:
sudo apt install python3-pip python3-dev
Install other requirements:
pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
If you want to test and develop the direct button interface (--pi-buttons) then you will need extra packages
pip3 install --user -r requirements-pi.txt
For the Mac, installation is slightly different depending on whether you want to use Macports or Homebrew.
Evdev is for Linux only so the --pi-buttons option will not be usable on Mac.
For MacPorts:
sudo port install py36-pip
pip-3.6 install --user -r requirements.txt
For Homebrew:
brew install python@3.12
brew install qt5
export PATH="$(brew --prefix qt5)/bin:$PATH"
brew install pyqt@5
export PYTHONPATH="$(brew --prefix pyqt@5)/lib/python3.12/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH"
python3.12 -m venv ve
. ve/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
brew install liblouis
cd ui/locale
pip install -r requirements-translate.txt
export PYTHONPATH="$(brew --prefix liblouis)/lib/python3.12/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH"
Install requirements:
sudo apt install -y usbmount python3-pip python3-dev
sudo pip3 install -r requirements-pi.txt
Install the rc.local file to make canute_ui start on boot
sudo cp rc.local /etc/
Add a mountpoint for the external sd-card and an fstab entry to automount it
sudo bash -c 'cat fstab >> /etc/fstab'
sudo chown pi:pi /media
mkdir /media/sd-card
sudo cp fstab /etc/
Copy the config file:
cp config.rc.in config.rc
Run the UI software:
