MagAO-X Automated Setup

The scripts in this folder automate the setup of the MagAO-X software system on new hardware (to the extent it is possible to automate). This is also used to create a container environment for continuous integration testing.

For personal use, see Running MagAO-X from your own computer. For instrument setup, consult the computer setup section of the MagAO-X Handbook.
