- Download: https://pypi.org/project/instrumentman/
- Documentation: https://instrumentman.readthedocs.io/
- Source: https://github.com/MrClock8163/Instrumentman

Main features
- Pure Python implementation
- Support for type checkers
- Command line applications
Requirements
To use the package, Python 3.11 or higher is required.
I-man relies on the GeoComPy package for the implementation of the various remote command protocols.
The individual commands require a number of other packages for command line argument parsing, JSON manipulation, calculations and other functions.
Installation
The preferred method to install I-man is through PyPI, where both wheel and source distributions are made available.
python -m pip install instrumentman
If not yet published changes/fixes are needed, that are only available in source, I-man can also be installed locally from source, without any external tools. Once the repository is cloned to a directory, it can be installed with pip.
git clone https://github.com/MrClock8163/Instrumentman.git
cd Instrumentman
python -m pip install .
Some commands require additional dependencies, that are not installed by default with I-man. These are indicated in the documentations of the specific commands.
License
I-man is free and open source software, and it is distributed under the terms of the MIT License.
