1. Download the .zip, or clone the repo.

2. Extract if necessary, and cd to the root directory (the one with this file in it)

3. Download and install Miniconda, or Anaconda if you prefer. Using a Conda distribution is the easiest way (that I know of) to set up the required Python environment and packages.

4. Now, create the Python 3.4 virtual environment which Robovis will run in:

   conda create -n <NAME> python=3.4 numpy=1.11 pyqt=5.6

   Replace <NAME> with whatever name you like for the environment - 'py34' is what I use.

5. Activate the environment; on Windows:

   activate <NAME>

   Or, on UNIX:

   source activate <NAME>

6. Install remaining packages:

   pip install PyYAML
   conda install -c menpo opencv3
   

You should then be able to run Robovis from the root directory with python .
