robolib - An Educational Robotics Library

Welcome! This repository is the home for the library supporting the RoboScience open-source robotics community. The purpose of this library is to support education for both users and developers in the field of robotics.

Installation

RoboLib has been tested on Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial) with Python 3.5. While our installation process will eventually include a setup script to aid with this process, our initial release will require a small manual process. If you do not have Python installed on your system, download and install it from here.

Next, install pip:

sudo apt-get install python3-pip

This will install the Pip package manager for Python packages. This will be used in install the RoboLib library as well as dependencies.

Next, download the current RoboLib release. This is a .whl file which can be installed via Pip:

pip install <release_name>.whl

To install the dependencies, either copy or download the requirements file. Then use pip to find each package:

pip install -r requirements.txt

This will install all the necessary packages to run the modules within RoboLib.

You are now ready to follow our tutorials!
