Installation
Of the Pepper Robot Interface on Linux (or WSL).
Start off by installing Pyenv and walk through the steps outlined there (be sure to also add it to PATH). Also install the Python build requirements. Afterwards, install Python 2.7 and activate it for your current shell:
pyenv install 2.7
pyenv shell 2.7
You can check that this worked by typing
python -V
Which should return Python 2.7.18.
Next, cd into this repository and create (and activate) a virtual environment:
cd <path to project>/
python -m pip install virtualenv
python -m virtualenv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
We depend on PortAudio for the pyaudio package, so install it with:
sudo apt install -y portaudio19-dev
On WSL, also install:
sudo apt install -y libasound2-plugins
Install the required packages with
pip install -r requirements.txt
Now we need to install the NaoQi SDK into our virtual environment, which we need to do manually. Begin by downloading the SDK:
wget https://community-static.aldebaran.com/resources/2.5.10/Python%20SDK/pynaoqi-python2.7-2.5.7.1-linux64.tar.gz
Next, move into the site-packages directory and extract the file you just downloaded:
cd .venv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/
tar xvfz <path to SDK>/pynaoqi-python2.7-2.5.7.1-linux64.tar.gz
rm <path to SDK>/pynaoqi-python2.7-2.5.7.1-linux64.tar.gz
Lastly, we need to inform our virtual environment where to find our newly installed package:
echo <path to project>/.venv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pynaoqi-python2.7-2.5.7.1-linux64/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ > pynaoqi-python2.7.pth
That's it! Verify that it works with
python -c "import qi; print(qi)"
You should now be able to run this project.
See the README for how to run.
