Install

This is not in PyPI and cannot be installed with PIP.

The installation requires git. For building a Python environment, we suggest conda.

Download and install GIT: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git

Download and install mini-conda: https://docs.conda.io/projects/miniconda/en/latest/miniconda-install.html

1. Use git to clone the repository.

   git clone https://github.com/slott56/FeederReader.git
   

2. Use conda to install Python 3.12. (There are many other ways to install Python. This seems simplest.)

   conda --create=fdrdr python=3.12 --channel=conda-forge
   conda activate fdrdr
   

3. Use PIP to install the dependencies.

   python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
   

At this point, the Feeder Reader is ready for operating locally, installing in the cloud, or doing testing and development.
