dropbox requirement #33

Closed twVolc closed 1 year ago

twVolc commented 1 year ago

Looks like the requirements.txt doesn't install dropbox - so the DropboxIO won't work

Is this the package dropbox or the executable (or are these the same?)

twVolc commented 1 year ago

I'm not sure I know what the executable is, possibly the same. But it's just a package, pip install dropbox got it for me, so hopefully it's straightforward - just adding this to the requirements? Perhaps pulling this straight to master makes sense rather than to dev, to get it working straight away. It's only used for downloading data for instruments that are using internet as data transmission, so this doesn't affect GUI functionality in any way, but we use it for the base computer in the lab (the whole module could arguably be part of a different repo, kind of like all the pi stuff).

Ah okay, in that case yeah, add it to the requirments. I was thinking of the executable that you'd download to have dropbox set up on your PC (which would be a little more difficult to include), rather than the python package.

Added in most recent commit to dev, so next merge of dev to master will incorporate this change.
