- | < | + | |
- | cd crazyflie-pc-client | + | |
- | sudo sh setup.sh | + | |

- | ==== Manual installation ==== | + | |
- | + | ||
- | === Install dependencies === | + | |
- | The following has to be installed for the PC utilities to work: | + | |
- | * Python 2.7 | + | |
- | * pyGame | + | |
- | * PyUSB (0.X or 1.X) | + | |
- | * libusb | + | |
- | * Python bindings for Qt4 | + | |
- | + | ||
- | The following will install these dependencies on Fedora (tested for 16 to 18). | + | |
- | < | + | |
- | sudo yum install pygame pyusb PyQt4 | + | |
- | </ | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Or to install them on Ubuntu (tested for 10.04/ | + | |
- | < | + | |
- | sudo apt-get install python2.7 python-usb python-pygame python-qt4 | + | |
- | </ | + | |
- | + | ||
- | This will install the dependencies in OpenSUSE (tested for 11.3): | + | |
- | < | + | |
- | sudo zypper install python-pygame libusb python-usb | + | |
- | </ | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Note that these commands will pull in a lot of dependencies. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | === Fix udev permissions (Linux, Debian, Raspbian Wheezy, etc.)=== | + | |
- | The following steps make it possible to use the USB Radio without being root. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Note: If using a fresh Debian install, you may need to install sudo first (executing exit command to exit from root shell first): | + | |
- | < | + | |
- | apt-get install sudo</ | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Note - installing sudo is probably | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Now, with sudo installed, you should be able to do the following commands | + | |
- | < | + | |
- | sudo groupadd plugdev | + | |
- | sudo usermod -a -G plugdev < | + | |
- | </ | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Create a file named / | + | |
- | < | + | |
- | SUBSYSTEM==" | + | |
- | </ | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Restart the computer and you are now able to access the USB radio dongle without being root. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | ===== Running source code on Windows ===== | + | |

- | - If you just installed MacPorts you can skip this step, otherwise make sure you update before you continue: < | + | |
- | port upgrade outdated</ | + | |
- | - Then go ahead and install the dependencies needed for the crazyflie client, this will also bring in lots of other dependencies, | + | |
- | port install py-pyusb-devel | + | |
- | port install py27-pyqt4 | + | |
- | port install py27-pygame | + | |
