Installing openaps¶
The recommended way to install openaps is to use python’s package management system. The openaps project is distributed on pypi. The following apt-get dependencies are required (they can be installed through variety of means, in debian/ubuntu and apt based systems the following packages are required:
sudo apt-get install python python-dev python-pip python-software-properties python-numpy
sudo pip install setuptools
From source¶
Sometimes, it’s useful to use a development version to help test or debug features. Here’s how to install the project from source.
git clone git://github.com/openaps/openaps.git
cd openaps
# checkout desired branch (dev)?
git checkout dev
sudo python setup.py develop
Do not use openaps
commands in the the openaps repo. Only use the
openaps
directory for hacking on the core library, or for managing
upgrades through git. Running openaps
inside of the openaps
source directory will error in the best case, and mess up your
openaps
install in the worst case.
