Installation under Mini-conda:

0. Good video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23aQdrS58e0&t=552s

1. Point browser to https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/miniconda.html

2. Download and install latest & greatest Mini-conda for your particular OS:

   • I used the bash installer for linux

   • As of July 2023: Conda 23.5.2 Python 3.11.3 released July 13, 2023

   • cd ~/Downloads

   • bash Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh

   • Follow the prompts

   • If you'd prefer that conda's base environment not be activated on startup, set the auto_activate_base parameter to false:

     conda config --set auto_activate_base false

   • To get it to work under tcsh:

     • bash
     • conda init tcsh
     • This creates ~/.tcshrc - move its contents to .cshrc if need be
     • relaunch tcsh and all should be fine!
     • Test with:
       • conda list

3. Create a working enviroment for ham radio stuff:

   • !!! THERE IS A BUG IN re in python 3.11 - need to use 3.10 !!!

   • conda create --name aa2il python=3.10

   • To activate this environment, use:

     • conda activate aa2il

   • To deactivate an active environment, use:

     • conda deactivate

   • conda env list

   • conda activate aa2il

4. Clone gitub contest, libs and data repositories:

   • cd
   • mkdir Python
   • cd Python
   • git clone https://github.com/aa2il/contest
   • git clone https://github.com/aa2il/libs
   • git clone https://github.com/aa2il/data

5. Install packages needed by contest:

   • cd ~/Python/contest
   • pip3 install -r requirements.txt

6. Set PYTHON PATH so os can find libraries:

   • Under tcsh: setenv PYTHONPATH $HOME/Python/libs
   • Under bash: export PYTHONPATH="$HOME/Python/libs"

8. Known issues using this (as of July 2023):

   • Fonts look awful - probably need to install these also

Installation for Windoz:

1. Best bet is to use mini-conda and follow the instructions above.
2. If you want/need a binary, email me.
