Installation
How to install the Python SDK
The Python SDK is a pure Python library. The installation should thus be rather straightforward. It supports Python >= 3.6 (older versions may work but are not officially supported). It works on Windows/Mac/Linux.
We recommend to use virtual environment for your development. They make the installation simple and avoid compatibility issues. They also come with their pip command.
⚠️ Make sure that you have the 0.5.4 version of reachy-sdk for your Reachy 2021. Versions subsequent to this one are only compatible with Reachy 2023! ⚠️
From PyPi
pip3 install reachy-sdk==0.5.4
From the source
git clone https://github.com/pollen-robotics/reachy-sdk
pip3 install -e reachy-sdk
Dependencies
The SDK relies on a few third-party Python packages:
- numpy - mostly for trajectory computation
- opencv - for camera frame access
- grpc - to connect to the robot
They will be installed automatically when you install the SDK.
