You can also build/run it yourself. You need the following:
* Python 3 and the following Python packages
* OpenCV (opencv-python)
* NumPy
* NumPy (Use version 2.0.2, August 2024 released 2.1.2 and it breaks PCSI)
* ImageIO
* BitString
* BitString (Use version 4.1.4, April 2024 released 4.2 and it breaks PCSI)
* PyLBFGS (includes pre-built [liblbfgs](https://github.com/chokkan/liblbfgs))
* PySerial
* Pillow
* PyInstaller (optional, if you want to build executable files)

These can all be installed using `python3 -m pip install opencv-python numpy imageio bitstring pylbfgs pyserial pillow`
These can all be installed using `python3 -m pip install opencv-python numpy==2.0.2 imageio bitstring==4.1.4 pylbfgs pyserial pillow`

### KD9YQK Linux Instructions
1. Clone the repo to home directory
2. Create a virtual environment. We need to install older packages and dont want them system-wide. ` python -m venv PCSI/`
3. Enter the PCSI directory and type `source bin/activate` to activate the environment.
4. install all the required python modules `python3 -m pip install opencv-python numpy==2.0.2 imageio bitstring==4.1.4 pylbfgs pyserial pillow`
5. `python pcsiGUI.py` to start. `deactivate` to close the virtual environment and return to shell.
6. To run without manually running the venv, use `~/PCSI/bin/python ~/PCSI/pcsiGUI.py`

### Linux and MacOS build instructions
1. You probably already have python installed. If not, install python version 3 from your distribution (e.g., `apt`), (Python.org), or Anaconda.
