Motion Trajectory Studio & Streamer

scarajectory is a standalone CAD/CAM motion planning, kinematic validation, and real-time trajectory streaming software for SCARA robotic manipulators.
Developed in python code.
The README is used to introduce the modules and provide instructions on how to install the modules, any machine dependencies it may have and any other information that should be provided before the modules are installed.

Currently there are three ways to install package
scarajectory is located at pypi.org.
You can install by using pip
# python3
pip3 install scarajectory
Navigate to release page download and extract release archive.
To install scarajectory type the following
tar xvzf scarajectory-x.y.z.tar.gz
cd scarajectory-x.y.z/
# python3
wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
python3 get-pip.py

python3 -m pip install --upgrade build
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
python3 -m build --no-isolation --wheel
pip3 install ./dist/scarajectory-*-py3-none-any.whl
rm -f get-pip.py
chmod 755 /usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/usr/local/bin/scarajectory_run.py
ln -s /usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/usr/local/bin/scarajectory_run.py /usr/local/bin/scarajectory_run.py
Navigate to release page download and extract release archive.
To install scarajectory locate and run setup.py with arguments
tar xvzf scarajectory-x.y.z.tar.gz
cd scarajectory-x.y.z
# python3
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
python3 setup.py install_lib
python3 setup.py install_egg_info
You can use Dockerfile to create image/container.
scarajectory requires next modules and libraries
scarajectory is based on OOP and Clean Architecture.
