how to install

[istvanUniv]

Hello,

I very new to Python - sorry if it's a silly question. But, how do you install this package?

Using: Ubuntu 14.04 + Python 3.6.5

Trying to run from a terminal under PyPylon-master/examples$ python3.6 list_cameras.py
returns an error: No module named 'pypylon'

I guess I need to integrate this package into Python. But I do not know how.

Thank you for any suggestion!

Update:
trying: /PyPylon-master/PyPylon$ sudo python3.6 setup.py
also gives an error: No module named 'setuptools'

I recommend to install this software via pip:
/PyPylon-master/PyPylon$ sudo pip install .

How did you install python on your system? For development purposes, I recommend to install the anaconda distribution in user space.

Thank you for the reply.

I installed python 3.6 by sudo apt-get install python3.6 and then changed the python to python3 (alias python=python3). This is the version I must use (needed by the project). Is the package not compatible?

I also installed pip.

So now:
python -V is Python 3.6.5
pip -V is pip 10.0.1 from /usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/pip (python 3.6)

But if I try
sudo pip install .
I get the error: No module named 'Cython' (details below)

Any ideas?

Thank you!

UPDATE:

Ok, I think it installed. The solution was installing cython and numpy separately, by:

$ sudo pip install --upgrade cython
$ sudo pip install numpy

Then install pypylon by entering its folder and calling:
$ sudo pip install .

[istvanUniv]

another way it to make sure you have python3, pip3 installed and run $ python3 -m pip install -e .

[istvanUniv]

you also need matplotlib:
$ python3 -mpip install -U matplotlib

[istvanUniv]

you also need tqdm:
$ pip3 install tqdm

...now you can run the example file:
$ python3 list_cameras.py

@istvanUniv Thank you for sharing these dependecies/installation instructions.
