System Requirements

• Ubuntu
• Python(3.6, mandatory)

Installtion

• Use pip to install pipenv:

  (sudo) pip3 install pipenv
  

• Clone this repo into a directory:

  git clone https://github.com/houluy/lora-motes-emulator.git
  

• Use pipenv to create a virtual Python environment and install all the dependencies:

  pipenv --python 3 install
  

Here, if there is not Python 3.6 in your system, a warning will occur, and no package will be installed. It is perfect to install Python 3.6 from source. Otherwise, remove the Pipfile.lock and redo the above command.

• Copy a local config file and modify the src and dest address.

• Modify device basic infomation in device_back.json.

• Run the emulator to see the help:

  pipenv run python main.py -h
  

  or by:

  pipenv shell
  python main.py -h
