prerequesitories

muonic needs the following packages to be installed (list may not be complete!)

  • python-scipy
  • python-matplotlib
  • python-numpy
  • python-qt4
  • python-serial
  • python-future

installation with the setup.py script

Run the following command in the directory where you checked out the source code:

python setup.py install

This will install the muonic package into your python site-packages directory and also the exectuables muonic and which_tty_daq to your usr/bin directory. It also generates a new directory in your home dir: $HOME/muonic_data

The use of python-virtualenv is recommended.

installing muonic without the setup script

You just need the script ./bin/muonic to the upper directory and rename it to muonic.py. You can do this by typing

mv bin/muonic muonic.py

while being in the muonic main directory.

Afterwards you have to create the folder muonic_data in your home directory.

mkdir ~/muonic_data
