Update the guide "Installing the SDK"

[Arthur-GYT]

I think it would be interesting to update point 1.3 of the guide below. Since Ubuntu 23.04, it's impossible to install pip packages directly. You have to use pipx or try to install corresponding apt packages.

By the way I'm confused about one thing, for each test should I use the command make PLATFORM=simulator clean and make PLATFORM=simulator epsilon_run or is there another way? The same goes for translations: do you generate them using one of these commands, or is there a more efficient way?

I can code to contribute but I wonder if there isn't a way to do it more efficiently ^^.

You don't have to clean every time you want to build; the Makefile system tracks the new changes. If you encounter an error, cleaning before building should be one of the first test.

Perfect ^^. However when I try to build sometimes the value is not present in the i18n.h file. Is there a command to generate this file before launching the simulator?

[EmilieNumworks]

Sadly, this is a little bug - output/*/simulator/*/*/apps/i18n.h and output/*/simulator/*/*/apps/i18n.cpp should be rebuilt when you change a message. In the meantime, to force the rebuilding, just remove the two previous files.

Lovely ^^. Thanks for the clarification. I'll leave the issue open if someone wants to make a PR to improve the SDK documentation ^^.

Hi @EmilieNumworks 👋. Quick question, does the EPSILON_APPS parameter accept several values (for example, to build just 2 apps)?

[EmilieNumworks]

Yes it does!

[Arthur-GYT]

Yes it does!

Weird, when I try the command bellow, it does not work :/

make PLATFORM=simulator EPSILON_APPS=code settings epsilon_run

[EmilieNumworks]

Try make PLATFORM=simulator EPSILON_APPS="code settings" epsilon_run

[Arthur-GYT]

Work fine, thanks ^^.
