fprime-fppm 1.1.0

A package manager for F Prime

fppm - A Package and Dependency Manager for F'

F Prime packages (otherwise known as libraries) are a way for packaging components, topologies, and/or other F Prime-related elements to prepare for distribution. fppm aims to be the method of delivery for these packages.

This tool hopes to make it simpler to share, install and set up F Prime packages across different projects. More and more we notice that many subsystems for flight are being reused in the spirit of "heritage", and thus being able to distribute reusable bits of code is a powerful ability.

fppm is provided as a command line tool, with packages being version controlled using Git, and installation being dependent on registries. More information on these concepts is provided in the documentation for this tool.

Installation

To get started with fppm, you can install it onto your system using pip:

pip install fprime-fppm

Development

To develop fppm, it is recommended to install the "test" optional dependencies as well, as that will install the black formatter and pytest:

pip install fprime-fppm[test]

The black formatter should be ran on your branch when making a pull request to this repo. You can also clone this repo for local development, and then install it to your system using:
