Autonomy Github Starting Guide

ARCHIVE DO NOT USE

• Find a directory on your pc and git clone https://github.com/UWARG/computer-vision-python or https://github.com/UWARG/IMACS depending on which project you want to work on (make sure you config your git first)

• to clone git submodules run command git submodule update --init --recursive and git submodule update --remote

• Download Python 3.8.10 (keeping only one version of python will make your life so much easier)

• Open Computer Vision Python or IMACS folder in vscode and create a virtual environment in the terminal:

  • python3 -m venv venv/

• Activate the virtual environment:

  • Windows command prompt: venv\Scripts\activate.bat

  • Windows Powershell: venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1

  • Linux and MacOS: source venv/bin/activate

• You will then see a (venv) in front of your command line, this means you are in the virtual environment

• Now pip install -r requirements.txt will install everything you need
