HoloView - Getting started

What is it?

HoloView is an imaging tool for the HolMOS project. It is designed to run on a Raspberry Pi and allows users to capture images with the camera and analyse them using libraries like OpenCV or PIL.

What do I need to run it?

This program is intended to run on a Raspberry Pi 3 with about 256 MB of RAM assigned to the Video Core. However, it is possible to run it at lower specs. If you test this program on other hardware, please let us know, so we can include your experiences in this wiki.

How do I install it?

In order to catch the current version and all future updates of HoloView, you'll have to setup our APT repository. Don't worry, it's not as complicated as it sounds! First, open up nano with super-user rights and edit the /etc/apt/sources.list-file:

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

Then add the following entry: deb http://debian.ch-st.de/ jessie main

All that's left now is the PGP key import update and installation:

curl https://debian.ch-st.de/E622EA3.pub | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3-holoview

How can I contribute?

Currently, you help us the most when just testing stuff from the master branch. Open github issues if you encounter any bugs. Thanks!
