Example running on WSL 2 (Ubuntu 20.04) terminals. The left terminal is the ground station example. The right terminal is the SFSF example.

Instructions

1. Get Linux. I got the example working on both WSL 2 and VMware Workstation 16 Player (Both running Ubuntu 20.04). You should also be able to dual-boot Ubuntu 20.04 (or another distro).

Install WSL

1. Clone the SFSF GitHub repo: git clone <https://github.com/olmanqj/sfsf>
2. Get the example up and running using the instructions provided by SFSF under the /examples directory.

Problems Encountered

• I had to create a symbolic link because I was getting an error saying it couldn’t find ‘python’.

whereis python3 # Returned /usr/bin/python3 for me
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/python # Link 'python' to 'python3'

• I was missing some dependencies, so I had errors when running python3 build_example.py. Make sure you have the following installed:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential pkg-config python3-dev python3-pip libzmq3-dev

• If you get an error similar to ImportError: No module named request, try the following:
  1. Make sure you’re using python 3.
  2. Run pip3 install requests in a terminal.
  3. Go into the wscript file (located in the sfsf root directory) and change the import urllib.request, zipfile, io line to import requests, zipfile, io
