Extending UVAP

Environment for Python Developers

UVAP demos run in a quick and easy-to-use Docker environment. For more information, see Environment.

Developers are required to have a local environment to solve real-world problems instead of starting a few prewritten demos. This section describes the following:

  • Installation package of the uvap_demo_applications Docker container.
  • Installation of a useful editor for Python® programming language.

Requirements

The following are required:

  • Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beaver
  • Privileged access to the Ubuntu System as root or through sudo command

Python3.6

To create a similar environment as the uvap_demo_applications Docker container, execute the following group of commands:

$ sudo apt-get update \
  && sudo apt-get -y install \
