Documentation is located on the docs branch.
To do development work, you'll want to have Docker setup, along with Python 3.9
with the venv module.
If you need to install Python 3.9 on Linux, do the following:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa
sudo apt install python3-pip python3.9 python3.9-venv
sudo -H python3.9 -m pip install pip wheel --upgradeIf you want to build/run Docker images not on a Jetson, run
docker run --rm --privileged docker.io/multiarch/qemu-user-static --reset -p yesonce first.
Refer to individual module README files for specific instructions.
Clone the repository with submodules:
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/bellflight/AVR-2022
cd AVR-2022If you already have the repo cloned, run
git submodule update --init --recursiveto initialize and/or update the submodules.
We recommend setting git.pullTags to false in VS Code workspace settings
to prevent tag errors when doing git pull, along with installing the
recommended extensions.
Create a Python 3.9 virtual environment:
py -3.9 -m venv .venv # Windows
python3.9 -m venv .venv # LinuxActivate the virtual environment:
.venv\Scripts\Activate # Windows
source .venv/bin/activate # LinuxFinally, you can install all the dependencies so you get autocomplete and type hinting:
python scripts/install_requirements.pyIf on a Jetson, clone the repository and check out the git branch you want.
You can now follow the instructions inside
VMC/README.md to run the setup.py
script and add --dev for development.
Note, with start.py commands, make sure to add --local to the command.
This builds the Docker images locally rather than using prebuilt ones from GitHub CR.
