###Setup ####Linux/MacOS First, make sure that you have pip installed. The installation structure varies from distro to distro.The required libraries to run the code are pyserial, numpy, and pygtk. We use python 2.x for all the code, so if you are on Linux, make sure to run the commands as sudo pip2 install and python2 main.py when installing packages and running the code, respectively.

####Windows Refer to the Third Party Software page of the wiki for setting up the code on Windows. Using Git bash is highly recommended for using git commands.

####Cloning and running the code Once you have downloaded all the required dependencies, go ahead and clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/Controls-UWNRG/minotaur.git

Then navigate to the UWNRG_CURRENT folder (we really need a better name) and run python main.py (or python2 main.py if you have python 3.x installed). Make sure to include --noport as a flag when running the code on your personal machine so that the program ignores the absense of the actuator connection.

###Other questions The wiki has a lot of resources in case you want more information. It's pretty ancient though.
