INSTALL

Termineter INSTALL

Requirements:
	Python >= 2.6
	PySerial (http://pyserial.sourceforge.net/) >= 2.3.1

How To Install Termineter (Windows):
	No installation or modification is necessary.  Start a command
	prompt, navigate to the termineter directory and use python to run
	termineter.py

How To Install Termineter (Linux):
	Installation is recommended, but not required. Run the included
	install.sh script.  It takes a single optional argument as the path
	to install the framework to.  If this option  is omitted, the
	framework and all necessary files are installed to /opt.

	If using a USB optical probe with an FTDI chip, you may need to load
	and configure the appropriate serial to USB driver in order to use
	the device. The following command will configure the hardware on
	Linux.

	Kernel version < 3.12
	# modprobe ftdi-sio vendor=0xVVVV product=0xPPPP

	Kernel version >= 3.12
	# modprobe ftdi-sio
	# echo VVVV PPPP > /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/ftdi_sio/new_id

	Where VVVV is the vendor ID and PPPP is the product ID.  These
	values can be obtained from the lsusb command.

How To Update (All):
	Updates can be obtained from the projects home page, either in
	source archives for major revisions or from the trunk.  Mercurial
	must be installed to update to the latest revision from the trunk.

	Once Mercurial is installed the following command can be issued to
	create a local copy of the latest revision.

	$ hg clone https://code.google.com/p/termineter/
