This is the GUI interface for AYAB.
For information on how to install the release version of the software, see http://manual.ayab-knitting.com
You need Python 3.5 and from your package manager's repository. The other main dependencies can be found in requirements.txt
For Debian/Ubuntu
sudo apt-get install python3-pip python3-dev python3-virtualenv python3-gi
For openSUSE
sudo zypper install python3-pip python3-virtualenv python3-gi
All Distributions
To be able to communicate with your Arduino, it might be necessary to add the rights for USB communication by adding your user to some groups.
sudo usermod -a -G tty [userName]
sudo usermod -a -G dialout [userName]
To install the development version you can checkout the git repository
git clone https://github.com/AllYarnsAreBeautiful/ayab-desktop
Create a virtual enviroment in the cloned repository
cd ayab-desktop
virtualenv -p python3 --system-site-packages venv/
source venv/bin/activate
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Now start ayab with
python3 -m fbs run
To be able to work on GUI elements and translation files, the Qt Dev tools are needed also:
sudo apt-get install qttools5-dev-tools
You need Python Version 3.5.3 (Important: the 64 bit version!) and PyQt5 (we used 5.11.3).
Download and install Python 3.5.3 (64 bit) (pip is already contained in this installer) from https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/ (https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.5.3/python-3.5.3-amd64.exe)
You may also need PyWin32 (https://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/pywin32/).
You can checkout the git repository with
git clone https://github.com/AllYarnsAreBeautiful/ayab-desktop
Create a virtual enviroment in the cloned repository
cd ayab-desktop
virtualenv venv/
venv\Scripts\activate
Then install the remaining prerequisites with
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Now start ayab with
python -m fbs run
You will need brew as package manager, git to acccess github, anaconda for Python 3.5 in an virtual environment
install brew (not needed if git already installed):
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
install git via brew (not needed if git already installed) :
brew install git
install Xcode command line tools:
xcode-select --install
get ayab-desktop for eKnitter from github:
git clone -b ComViaIp https://github.com/yekomS/ayab-desktop ayab-desktop-eknitter
change to ayab-desktop-eknitter directory:
cd ayab-desktop-eknitter
make directory for anaconda (python virtual environment):
mkdir -p ~/miniconda3
you can check your mac processor architecture (neede for next command):
arch
if you use mac with arm processor: get anaconda for arm64 processor:
curl https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-MacOSX-arm64.sh -o ~/miniconda3/miniconda.sh
if you use mac with intel processor: get anaconda for x86_64 processor:
curl https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-MacOSX-x86_64.sh -o ~/miniconda3/miniconda.sh
install anaconda (python virtual environment):
bash ~/miniconda3/miniconda.sh -b -u -p ~/miniconda3
remove anaconda install script:
rm -rf ~/miniconda3/miniconda.sh
init anaconda:
~/miniconda3/bin/conda init bash
~/miniconda3/bin/conda init zsh
restart you terminal window and change to ayab-desktop-eknitter directory:
cd ayab-desktop-eknitter
create python 3.5 virtual environment:
conda create --name venv -c conda-forge python=3.5 pip
activate python environment:
conda activate venv
update your python environment with required tools:
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
pip install --upgrade setuptools
pip install -r requirements.txt
To solve pip3 SSL:TLSV1_ALERT_PROTOCOL_VERSION problem (dont know if neccessary):
curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | python
load patterns from github:
git clone https://github.com/AllYarnsAreBeautiful/ayab-patterns ./src/main/resources/base/patterns
start ayab-desktop for eKnitter:
python -m fbs run
Install done :-)
once all tools are installed, you can start ayab-desktop for eKnitter:
cd ayab-desktop-eknitter
conda activate venv
python -m fbs run
