Installing GliderFlight¶
Download¶
The software’s repository is hosted on github, from where you can download the source using git or download it as a zip file.
Installing¶
After having obtained the source code, you can build it using the standard way of installing python code. On linux this would be
$ python3 setup.py build
$ python3 setup.py install
Depending on your system setup, the install command may require root privileges.
Dependencies¶
The gliderflight module depends on numpy.
The glidertrim script – useful to check and adjust the ballast trim of glider during deployment – additionally depends on scipy, matplotlib, gsw, and dbdreader. All these packages are available from PyPi and will be downloaded automatically when not present. However, you may prefer to install the complex packages numpy, scipy and matplotlib using your distribution’s package manager (when on linux).
