Development setup

In order to install lima2-client in a new conda environment:

conda create -n l2c -c esrf-bcu python pytango finite-state-machine
pip install .

and, if you need the lima2-client shell:

pip install .[shell]

Quickstart with blissdemo

With bliss-demo-servers running, you can run an interactive Lima2 client shell to manipulate the Lima2 simulator devices and test the client API:

export TANGO_HOST="localhost:10000"  # Assuming you are running bliss-demo-servers locally
lima2_shell

The lima2_shell utility instantiates a Client object using config from l2c_config.yaml, creates a set of default control, acquisition and processing parameters, and starts an ipython session.
