Crazyflie client won't start

Post by 6-H-05-T »

So I'm going through all the setup steps on bitcraze.io/start, and when I get to the bit about "double click on the crazyflie client" nothing happens. a terminal window pops up for a fraction of a second, then disappears and it's very frustrating. I'm running my virtual machine on Fedora 25.

UPDATE: going into the terminal and trying to run it I get this error:

CRITICAL:cfclient.gui:no PyQT5 installation found, exiting!

Hi,

Thanks for the repport and sorry you are coming in just at the wrong time: We just switched from pyqt4 to pyqt5 and I just pushed a new virtual machine. Though I updated the links in the wiki but forgot the website.

To be able to run the new client just install pyqt5 in the virtual machine. In a console:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install python3-pyqt5
pip3 install --user -e projects/crazyflie-clients-python
