[ADVANCED] Advanced RMS installations and Multi-camera support

This is for users who wish to perform more advanced tasks, if you have gone for the previous section, do not continue with the sections below Note: if you're setting up a Raspberry Pi you should use the prebuilt image as this comes with all necessary software installed and is ready to use.. If you really really really do want to install on the RPi from scratch, you can follow the instructions below:

Install for Raspberry Pi 4

[Not recommended, please use the image here.] In case you still insist, detailed instructions here for Bullseye and here for Buster (though we do not recommend Buster). Instructions for Bookworm are coming soon.

Install for Linux

Detailed instructions here

Linux GUI and multi-Camera support

Detailed instructions here

Installation for Windows

Data capture does not work under windows. However you can use the other tools on your PC, where its much quicker to run SkyFit2 to calibrate your camera to the sky, or you want to use BatchFFToImage to convert data to jpeg format to share on Social Media.

Click here for detailed instructions. The instructions were tested on Windows 10 64-bit, but should work on any Windows version where git and Anaconda are available.

Aside: If you are a Windows whizz, please feel free to investigate why data capture doesn't work!

Installation for MacOS

As with Windows, installation for MacOS is useful if you want to analyse the data offline. If you do want to install it, please follow the instructions here.
