Install ROMI software for the plant imager

To follows this guide you should have a conda or a Python venv, see here.

For the sake of clarity the environment will be called plant_imager.

Install ROMI packages with pip:

Activate your plant_imager environment!

conda activate plant_imager

Note

Since this is still under development, the packages are installed in "editable mode" with the -e option.

Install plant-imager sources:

To pilot the hardware you have to install the plant-imagerpackage:

python3 -m pip install -e git+https://github.com/romi/plant-imager.git@dev

Install plant-3d-vision sources:

To start "acquisition jobs", you have to install the plant-3d-vision package:

python3 -m pip install -e git+https://github.com/romi/plant3dvision.git@dev

Install plantdb sources:

Since we will need an active database to export the acquisitions, you have to install the plantdb package:

python3 -m pip install -e git+https://github.com/romi/plantdb.git@dev

Example database

To quickly create an example DB you can use:

wget https://db.romi-project.eu/models/test_db.tar.gz
tar -xf test_db.tar.gz

This will create a integration_tests folder with a ready to use test database.

You should now be ready to perform "plant acquisitions" following the dedicated user guide.

Troubleshooting
