GUI to plot confirmed grids and states for 6-meters and Satellites.
- Uses python3
- Clone gitub grids, libs and data repositories
- cd
- mkdir Python
- cd Python
- git clone https://github.com/aa2il/grids
- git clone https://github.com/aa2il/libs
- git clone https://github.com/aa2il/data
- Install packages needed for grids:
- cd ~/Python/grids
- pip3 install -r requirements.txt
- Make sure its executable:
- chmod +x grids.py
- Set PYTHON PATH so os can find libraries:
- Under tcsh: setenv PYTHONPATH $HOME/Python/libs
- Under bash: export PYTHONPATH="$HOME/Python/libs"
- Bombs away:
- ./grids.py

I used the bash installer for linux
-
As of July 2023: Conda 23.5.2 Python 3.11.3 released July 13, 2023

If you'd prefer that conda's base environment not be activated on startup, set the auto_activate_base parameter to false:
conda config --set auto_activate_base false
-
To get it to work under tcsh:
- bash
- conda init tcsh
- This creates ~/.tcshrc - move its contents to .cshrc if need be
- relaunch tcsh and all should be fine!
- Test with:
- conda list
-
-
Create a working enviroment for ham radio stuff:
-
Check which python version we have:
- conda list
-
conda create --name aa2il python=3.11
-
To activate this environment, use:
- conda activate aa2il
-
To deactivate an active environment, use:
- conda deactivate
-
conda env list
-
conda activate aa2il

Clone gitub grids, libs and data repositories:
- cd
- mkdir Python
- cd Python
- git clone https://github.com/aa2il/grids
- git clone https://github.com/aa2il/libs
- git clone https://github.com/aa2il/data
-
Install packages needed by grids:
- conda activate aa2il
- cd ~/Python/grids
- pip3 install -r requirements.txt
-
Set PYTHON PATH so os can find libraries:
- Under tcsh: setenv PYTHONPATH $HOME/Python/libs
- Under bash: export PYTHONPATH="$HOME/Python/libs"
-
To run grids, we need to specify python interpreter so it doesn't run in the default system environment:
- cd ~/Python/grids
- conda activate aa2il
- python grids.py
-
Known issues using this (as of July 2023):
- None
- Best bet is to use mini-conda and follow the instructions above.
