Operating a Duckbot

Installation

Get the repository

• Clone this repository: git clone https://github.com/machineagency/duckbot.git
• We recommend using python virtual environments to handle dependencies. To do this:
  • Move into the new directory: cd duckbot
  • Create a virtual environment named .venv: python3 -m venv .venv
  • Activate the virtual environment: source .venv/bin/activate
  • You should now see (.venv) to the left of your command line prompt! (If you wish to leave the virtual environment, type deactivate)
• Install the python requirements within the virtual environment: python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
• Add the duckbot utils path to your .bashrc file:
  • Open your .bashrc file: nano ~/.bashrc
  • Add the following line to the end: export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:<path_to_your_duckbot_repo>/notebooks/utils. For example, if you cloned the duckbot repository into /home/pi, this line would read: export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/home/pi/notebooks/utils
