I tested the new Mac package.

It work fine and the installation process is much simple with less confirmation box than before.
Congratulation for this work!

I am always grateful for your works.

Hi,

Any steps for us to build it ourself in linux? Thanks

Tom

For Linux,

I'm not a Linux expert, and I'm working on how to distribute my code on Linux, but these instructions should work.

1. First you need to install the main dependencies. I haven't yet figured all those out yet. but I think the following will do. There might be more here than needed, I'm not sure, or maybe there is something missing. I'm still working this out.

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:mutlaqja/ppa -y
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cmake pkg-config extra-cmake-modules qtbase5-dev kdoctools-dev libkf5config-dev libkf5i18n-dev libindi-dev indi-full gsc qtcreator

2. Second you need to install python and indiweb
This one I'm less certain as to what is needed, since python is a different install on different systems, but I think you want to get python3 installed and then use pip to install indiweb. I think that you can use python2 as well, but python3 is probably preferable.

sudo apt-get install python3.6 or maybe sudo apt-get install python3-pip
sudo pip3 install indiweb

3. Then clone the repo

git clone github.com/rlancaste/INDIWebManagerApp

4. Then open cmakelists.txt inside the INDIWebManagerApp folder in QT Creator, run cmake, click the run button, and you are good to go.

Thanks,

Rob

I think I will make the install button install indiweb on Linux as well as OS X. It certainly can do that since it doesn't require authentication. That will solve the issue of how to make a Debian package install the dependencies of this program since I don't know how to make a pip installed program a dependency for the apt package manager.

Ok I did add that, and I also came up with a way to actively monitor the port of the running Indi server so now this will update on the display if the port gets changed.

Here is a new DMG for Macs. Please let me know if there is anything else.

I cannot test now, but the code to install indiweb on Linux look good to work with both Python2 or Python3.

For the deb package you probably only need to make a dependency to python3-pip because it include the python3 dependency itself.

Thanks I will try that

We are still working on getting the Linux Debian package to work. But here is a release of 0.6 for os x

github.com/rlancaste/INDIWebManagerApp/releases

ok I think the Debian package for linux works now:

code.launchpad.net/~mutlaqja/+recipe/indiwebmanagerapp-daily

As a newbie, is there a log of what my problem might be? This is on an Odroid-N2 running 18.04 w/kstars bleeding.



Thanks

At the command line, when you type the following commands, what happens?

which python
which python3
which pip
which pip3
