Setup Gate Controller Software Development

Install python3

This software requires python3.5. Install it:

Ubuntu 12.04, 14.04

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fkrull/deadsnakes
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python3.5 python3.5-venv

Ubuntu 16.04

Python 3.5 is already installed! Just need a:

sudo apt install python3.5-venv

on the reader (FIDO only)

opkg install python3 python3-modules python3-pyvenv

Create python3 venv

Next, create a venv for running the software. Read about virtualenv: ​https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/stable/

pyvenv-3.5 py3.5-venv
source py3.5-venv/bin/activate

On the reader: create the venv in /home/root/venv/

cd /home/root/
pyvenv-3.5 venv
source venv/bin/activate
