# python-cellframe

## Prerequisites
To install, you must have Python3.7 including pip and a scikit-build.
sudo apt-get install pip3
If there is a problem on Debian buster 
"unknown system group 'Debian-exim' in statoverride file; the system group got removed"
Use the following command to fix it
dpkg-statoverride --remove /etc/exim4/passwd.client
Now repeat sudo apt-get install pip3

```
git clone https://gitlab.demlabs.net/cellframe/python-cellframe.git
cd python-cellframe
git submodule update --init 
cd cellframe-sdk
git submodule update --init
cd ..
sudo python3.7 setup.py install
python3.7 test/main_test.py
```

## Windows Build
First of all you need to install msys2. It provides 3 shells.
To install dependencies, run from MSYS shell:
```
pacman -S base-devel mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake mingw-w64-x86_64-file mingw-w64-x86_64-json-c mingw-w64-x86_64-python-pip
