Installation

Since this project is not yet packaged for distribution, it is not available for installation with pip and must be installed from source code.

Download Source

The source code can be downloaded either as a snapshot archive: https://github.com/nocarryr/jvconnected/archive/master.zip or by using git:

git clone https://github.com/nocarryr/jvconnected.git

Setup

Using a virtual environment is recommended:

cd jvconnected
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

Then install in development mode (including all "extra" dependencies)

pip install -e .[ui,midi]

If using the UI, the Qt resource files need to be created:

python setup.py build_qrc

Running the UI

If the virtual environment is active, the UI can be launched with

jvconnected-ui

or directly from the entry point script within the virtual environment's bin directory
