[SOLVED]CF client installation for Ubuntu 14.04

[rgalvez]

Hi guys, I am using crazyflie ROS driver and I want to install CF client for Ubuntu 14.04 in able to assign different addresses to the quad. To do this I want to install first the dependencies. I did the following steps.
1.Opened a terminal and typed "sudo apt-get install python3 python3-pip python3-pyqt4 python3-zmq python3-pyqtgraph" as instructed here https://github.com/bitcraze/crazyflie-clients-python but there’s an error "Unable to locate package python3-pyqtgraph" so I did not include python3-pyqtgraph in the installation. The installation was successful then I typed " sudo pip3 install pyusb==1.0.0b2 " and it was installed successfully.
2. I want to launch the GUI so I typed "python bin/cfclient" but the error was "python: can't open file 'bin/cfclient': [Errno 2] No such file or directory" What do you think the solution to this error?Thanks in advance!

You need to be inside the crazyflie-clients-python directory for that command to work. The "bin/cfclient" part of that command refers to the "bin" directory inside crazyflie-clients-python directory. The cfclient script is inside that bin directory.

Where is your crazyflie-clients-pyhon directory? If you installed it like the Bitcraze VM, it's in ~/projects. So, in that case you need to use the following to run it:

Code: Select all

cd ~/projects/crazyflie-clients-python
python bin/cfclient

Make sense?

Hi Chad,

Is CF client compatible with ubuntu 16.04? I've tried all the procedures while it fails to execute cfclient.

Bin

The client is mostly developed on Ubuntu 16.04, so it is compatible . What error are you seing?
