If you want to contribute, you'll need to install from source

Depends on

• gtk3 >= 3.20
• python3
• python-gobject
• gobject-introspection
• ola (with python3 support)
• sacn (python-sacn (AUR) on archlinux)
• mido (python-mido (AUR) on archlinux)
• liblo (python-pyliblo on archlinux)
• SciPy (python-scipy on archlinux)
• Charset Normalizer (python-charset-normalizer on archlinux)

Ubuntu

Install ola with python 3 support:

$ sudo apt install ola-python

Install olc dependencies:

$ sudo apt install meson python3-setuptools gobject-introspection cmake libgirepository1.0-dev libgtk-3-dev python-gi-dev python3-cairo-dev python3-gi-cairo python3-liblo python3-mido python3-rtmidi gettext python3-scipy python3-charset-normalizer

A package for sacn python module is missing. If you know how to install it, please tell me.

Building from git

$ git clone https://github.com/mikacousin/olc.git
$ cd olc
$ meson setup builddir --prefix=/usr/local
$ sudo ninja -C builddir install

You can execute the software without sacn python module:

$ olc --backend ola

Raspberry Pi 3B+

Need some tests

Seems to work with 1 universe and 512 channels (edit src/define.py)
