CAMS

h1. Installation

This is a quick tutorial on how to install CAMS on your computer. Instructions are different depending on your needs: *If you are using ubuntu 20.04 proceed with the [[Installation#One-step install|one-step install]]. If you are a developper that wants to control the setup process, follow the [[Installation#Advanced install|Advanced install]] instructions.*

In any case, CAMS server requires a PC running a recent GNU/Linux operating system, preferably 20.04. Windows and MacOS are not supported. On the contrary, access to the graphical user interface is possible from any device running a modern web browser.

h3. System requirements

The main programming language is **Python 3.5**. "Official support for Python 2.7 ending by the beginning of 2020":https://pythonclock.org/, no development efforts were made to support Python 2.7.

Most of development and testing where made on "Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Xenial Xerus":http://releases.ubuntu.com/16.04/ on which Python 3.5 is the default Python version.

All server side applications should work on a Unix-based system provided it supports Python 3.5 or later. Compatibility with Microsoft Windows has not been tested.

The client side application is web-based and should work on a modern web browser. (Only tested with Mozilla Firefox and Safari).

</code></pre>

CAMS needs the environment variables PAPARAZZI_HOME and PAPARAZZI_SRC to be set to the root paparazzi folder (where you cloned it). Add these lines to your .bashrc, replacing "paparazzi_path" to where you cloned paparazzi repository.

export PAPARAZZI_HOME="paparazzi_path"

export PAPARAZZI_SRC="paparazzi_path"

</code></pre>

Once Paparazzi installed, launch ./paparazzi. In the paparazzi center, build every aircraft you need to use by selecting an item in the _A/C_ menu and then clicking on the _build_ button.
