OpenFlexure Microscope Software

Quickstart

A general user-guide on setting up your microscope can be found here on our website. This includes basic installation instructions suitable for most users.

Full developer documentation can be found on ReadTheDocs. This includes installing the server in a mode better suited for active development.

Installation

  • git clone --recurse-submodules https://gitlab.com/openflexure/openflexure-microscope-server.git
  • poetry install
  • poetry run build_static

Distributing

  • poetry run build
    • Dist files will then be in /dist

Build-system

As of 1.0.0b0, we're using Poetry to manage dependencies, build, and distribute the package. All package information and dependencies are found in pyproject.toml, in line with PEP 518. If you're developing this package, make use of poetry.lock to ensure you're using the latest locked dependency list.

Microscope plugins

The Microscope module, and Flask app, both support plugins for extending lower-level functionality not well suited to web API calls. This plugin system is still in fairly early development, and is not yet properly documented. The current documentation can be found here.

Running tests through the PTVSD remote debugger (port 3000)

  • From the openflexure-microscope-software directory, run python3 -m ptvsd --host 0.0.0.0 --port 3000 --wait tests/test_camera.py
