this doccument outlines the installation of the MicronPro worker software. This program is used in additon with the cloud hosted application which renders the frontend web app.
This program should be set up on the computer on which the images of the filters will be taken. This computer acts a 'worker' computer in the MicronPro platform. From the web app users will be able to configure and run jobs on worker computers. This is done to avoid the transfer of the images back and forth from a cloud and instead stores all the relavant data in the cloud (AWS heroku server).
