Setup Python virtual env

Only needed if your system only has support for python =< 2.6 e.g. Ubuntu 14.04 :-(

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git python-pip make build-essential libssl-dev zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev libreadline-dev libsqlite3-dev -y
sudo pip install virtualenvwrapper

git clone https://github.com/yyuu/pyenv.git ~/.pyenv
git clone https://github.com/yyuu/pyenv-virtualenvwrapper.git ~/.pyenv/plugins/pyenv-virtualenvwrapper

echo 'export PYENV_ROOT="$HOME/.pyenv"' >> ~/.bashrc
echo 'export PATH="$PYENV_ROOT/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
echo 'eval "$(pyenv init -)"' >> ~/.bashrc
echo 'pyenv virtualenvwrapper' >> ~/.bashrc

$ ~/.pyenv/bin/pyenv install 2.7.9
$ cd emonupload
$ python --version
Python 2.7.9

After shell has been reloaded pyenv can just be called directly without it's full path ~/.pyenv/bin/pyenv do to the lines addded to bashrc.

Local python version 2.79 will be used for emonupload this is defined by .python-version in root project folder

Install PlatformIO

Not essential for upload: Required for unit testing and serial monitor view

Install PlatformIO using Linux / Mac install script:

$ sudo python -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/platformio/platformio/master/scripts/get-platformio.py)"
