findMinidrone: command not found

SvengalH commented 5 years ago

Development environment: Ubunto 14.04 LTS (this is old. Could that be the issue) I have a feeling the issue is that I don't really understand the directory structure and path requirements surrounding python. Any suggestions for an outside resource to consult on this would be welcomed.

Sorry. I somehow posted prior to completing the write up of my issue. Here is some supporting info.

That is odd. It should appear in a bin directory. You can find the code directly here:

Thanks. I'll take another poke at this as time allows this week.

Life interrupted my progress on this, but now I'm back at it. Since I last posted, I got a modern laptop, learned a bit about setting up Python with virtual environments and reinstalled pyparrot. I'm still a bit green though. In my new installation I have the same problem I had previously.

Problem: I suspect I'm not doing an installation step that is so fundamental, that it is assumed rather than explicitly spelled out in the instructions. Maybe something to do with Github. I simply downloaded the zip file and extracted it to my virtualenv directory. Am I supposed to use a fancy git command instead?

The findMinidrone script is missing from the bin directory, so I wonder what I am not doing right.

(pyparrot) me@laptop:~/.virtualenvs/pyparrot$ find -name findMinidrone.py
./lib/python3.7/site-packages/pyparrot/scripts/findMinidrone.py
./pyparrot/scripts/findMinidrone.py

I can change to the scripts directory and succesfully run findMinidrone.py

(pyparrot) me@laptop:~/.virtualenvs/pyparrot/pyparrot/scripts$ sudo python3 findMinidrone.py
