8 years ago Following the quickstart:
pip install git+https://github.com/gnuradio/pybombs.git pybombs recipes add gr-recipes git+https://github.com/gnuradio/gr-recipes.git pybombs recipes add gr-etcetera git+https://github.com/gnuradio/gr-etcetera.git
What to use for the "prefix"? The example uses a nonsensical "/path/to/prefix" path. Maybe /usr/local/share/gnuradio/grc/blocks, which I have configured in:
~/.gnuradio/config.config.conf: [grc] local_blocks_path=/usr/local/share/gnuradio/grc/blocks
or in ~/.pybombs? But that already exists and has config.yml and recipes files:
~ $ ls ~/.pybombs/ config.yml recipes
cannot create prefix over it:
~ $ pybombs prefix init ~ -a local -R gnuradio-default PyBombs.prefix - ERROR - Ignoring. A prefix already exists in `/Users/admin'
even though it doesn't have "./setup_env.sh":
~ $ pybombs prefix env PyBombs.prefix - ERROR - No prefix specified. Aborting. ~ $ pybombs prefix info PyBombs.prefix - ERROR - No prefix specified. Aborting.
not clear what a reasonable prefix is. If I use a different directory, then initialization succeeds, and it says it is installing gr-osmosdr but there are no gr-osmosdr files in the prefix directory.
I'll use ~/rf/gr as my prefix:
pip install git+https://github.com/gnuradio/pybombs.git
pybombs recipes add gr-recipes git+https://github.com/gnuradio/gr-recipes.git
pybombs recipes add gr-etcetera git+https://github.com/gnuradio/gr-etcetera.git
pybombs prefix init ~/rf/gr -a local -R gnuradio-defaultinitializes the prefix:
PyBombs.prefix - INFO - Creating directory `/Users/admin/rf/gr' PyBombs.ConfigManager - INFO - Creating new config file /Users/admin/rf/gr/.pybombs/config.yml PyBombs.prefix - INFO - Installing default packages for prefix... PyBombs.prefix - INFO -
- gnuradio
- gr-osmosdr
then try to install - no output:
~ $ pybombs -p local install gnuradio gr-osmosdr ~ $
Try another package - nothing either:
~ $ pybombs install gr-ieee-80211 ~ $ ls ~/rf/gr
The prefix directory is nearly empty:
~ $ find ~/rf/gr
/Users/admin/rf/gr
/Users/admin/rf/gr/.pybombs
/Users/admin/rf/gr/.pybombs/config.yml
/Users/admin/rf/gr/.pybombs/recipes
/Users/admin/rf/gr/setup_env.sh
/Users/admin/rf/gr/srcNot sure what is going on here. If I . ./setup_env.sh then ./gnuradio-companion, no blocks from the packages I "installed" are visible (tried gr-osmosdr, gr-ieee-80211).
Will have to stick to Homebrew for now until I can figure out PyBOMBS.
GNU Radio has its own bundle system, Python Build Overlay Managed Bundle System: https://github.com/gnuradio/pybombs - should try it out and investigate how it compares versus these Homebrew formulae.
Does it make them obsolete? There are recipes in gr-recipes to install gr-osmosdr, gr-baz, and a large number of other modules:
