Missing documentation for setting up a development environment #48

Open Ramblurr opened 1 year ago

Describe the bug

The README and docs do not describe how to setup a local development environment for dinkum (without using mark ii hardware).

Expected behavior

The documentation for mycroft-core is very extensive! I'm not necessarily asking for something that comprehensive, though it would be nice.

A an addition to the README like this would suffice:

git clone ...
python3 -m virtualenv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
./bin/go

Looking at the scripts it seems its heavily tied to systemd.. which isn't ideal on a dev workstation, but not a deal breaker. I'd be happy to run a virtual machine too.. it's just getting the toolchain and deps installed that I don't know where to start.

Merry Christmas by the way! Loving my Mark II, really looking forward to hacking on it over the coming weeks.

Seconding this. My current plan is to just have two flash drives that I swap into the hardware, but that is something of a pain to do
