Following dependencies are included in deb package, but if you want to install it manually, they are:

# in web2board path
sudo pip install -r requirements.txt

sudo apt-get install avrdude

In order to generate Debian and Windows packages, some extra dependencies are needed

# in web2board path
# set up res folder (only once)
python src/Scripts/ConstructRes.py
# start packaging
python src/Scripts/package.py

# installer will be created in installer folder

it is not possible to generate an installer for other platform other that the host due to a limitation in pyinstaller, see: http://pyinstaller.readthedocs.io/en/stable/usage.html?highlight=virtualbox#supporting-multiple-platforms

All source code is available on GitHub. You can download main web2board project by doing:

git clone git@github.com:bq/web2board.git
