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 .
