A python library to download and upload files from ANT-FS compliant devices (Garmin products).

Features

Three libs (ant.base basic ANT library, ant.easy blocking version using ant.base, ant.fs ANT-FS library)

Requirements

Python >= 3.6
PyUSB >= 1.1.0
Root access (for installation only)

Automatic install

Install setuptools:
```
  apt-get install python-setuptools
```

    wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/ez_setup.py -O - | sudo python

Run the following command:
```
  sudo python setup.py install
```

This will install everything required on your active python installation.

Manual install

These should only be necessary to install manually, if you don't want to use the Automatic installation script.

Install PyUSB.
```
  pip install pyusb
```
(Or alternatively from sources available on GitHub)
Install udev rules (Only required to avoid running the program as root).
```
  sudo python setup.py udev_rules
```

Windows install

Windows does not use udev_rules and therefore does not need to be installed. The installation of udev_rules is bypassed for Windows. libusb is supported by Windows. Follow libusb's driver installation instructions for Windows.

Install PyUSB.
```
  pip install pyusb
```
(Or alternatively from sources available on GitHub)
Install libusb.
```
  pip install libusb
```
