How would I install things on Pepper, since I don't know what package manager it uses. I usually use apt on my Ubuntu machine and want to install some packages on Pepper. I'm not sure what package manager Pepper has (if any) and want to install some packages, but also only know the name of the package using apt (not sure if the package name is the same on other package managers). And if possible, would I be able to install apt on Pepper. Thanks.
Note: From the research I've done, Pepper is using NaoQi which is based off Gentoo which uses portage.
You don't have root access on Pepper, which limits what you can install (and apt isn't on the robot anyway).
Some possibilities:
Include your content in Choregraphe projects - when you install a package, the whole directory structure is installed (more exactly, what's listed in the .pml); so you can put arbitrary files on your robot, and you can usually include whatever dependencies your code needs.
Install python packages with pip.
In NAOqi 2.5, a slightly older version of pip is installed that will not always work out of the box; I recommend upgrading it:
pip install --user --upgrade pip
... you can then use the upgraded pip to install other packages, using the upgraded pip, and always --user:
/home/nao/.local/bin/pip install --user whatever-package-you-need
Note however that if you do this and use your packages in your code running on Pepper, that code won't work on other robots until you do pip on them, which is why I usually only do this for tests; for production code I prefer packaging all dependencies in my app's package.
As a workaround if you need to install software (or just newer versions of software) using Gentoo Prefix is an option.
Gentoo Prefix builds a Gentoo OS on any location (no need of root, can be any folder). It includes it's own portage (package manager) to install new software.
I maintain a few projects to work with Pepper and use "any" software I want. Note that they are built for 64b (amd64) and 32b (x86) even though for Pepper only the 32b matter.
gentoo_prefix_ci and gentoo_prefix_ci_32b Which builds nightly the bootstrap of the Gentoo Prefix system. This is a process that takes a while to compile (3-6h depending on your machine) and that breaks from time to time (as upstream packages are updated and bugs are found, Gentoo is a rolling release distribution). Every night updated binary images ready to use can be found in the Releases section.
For ROS users that want to run it on the robot, based on the previous work, I maintain also ros_overlay_on_gentoo_prefix and ros_overlay_on_gentoo_prefix_32b. They provide nightly builds with binary releases of ROS Kinetic and ROS Melodic over Gentoo Prefix using ros-overlay. You can find ready-to-use 'ros_base' and 'desktop' releases.
For purposes related to the RoboCup#Home Social Standard Platform League where the Pepper robot is used I also maintain a specific build that contains a lot of additional software. This project is called pepper_os and it builds 270+ ROS packages, a lot of Python packages (250+ including Theano, dlib, Tensorflow, numpy...) and all the necessary dependencies for these to build (750+ packages). Note that the base image (it's built with Docker) is the actual Pepper 2.5.5.5 image, so it can be used for debugging as it if it was in the real robot (although without sensors and such).
Maybe this approach, or these projects, are useful.
The package manager on pepper is disabled. But you can copy the files to the robot and write your own service that imports any package you might need.

To get rid of error :
" SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed
".
If you use python and requests package, just add verify=False at the end of your parameters.
r=requests.get(URL,params,header,verify=False)
Works with my Pepper

If it based on Gentoo maybe we could try to install portage with pip.
pip install portage
Just a thought.

I realize that a requirements.txt file can be used to pin the versions used in pip install. Sometimes I don't want to go through all that- and just simply want to protect my installation from downgrades. Is there any way to instruct pip install to do that?
An example: I just installed librosa and it downgraded numpy from 1.24.1 to 1.23.5 . I don't want that behavior to happen unless I explicitly request. On the other hand if there are missing dependencies then please let's grab them.
For this installation of python it is acceptable to take the risk of occasionally ending up with a mismatch due to installing newer versions [ but I don't want older ones].
After a fair bit of thrashing, I successfully installed the Python Camelot PDF table extraction tool (https://pypi.org/project/camelot-py/) and it works for the intended purpose. But in order to get it to work, aside from having to correct a deprecated dependency (by editing pyproject.toml and setting PyPDF2 =”2.12.1”) I used pip to install Camelot from within a Poetry (my preferred package manager) environment- because I haven’t yet figured out any other way.
Since I’m very new to Python and package management (but not to programming) I have some holes in my basic understanding that I need to patch up. I thought that using two package managers on the same project in principle defeats the purpose of using package managers, so I feel like I’m lucky that it works. Would love some input on what I’m missing.
The documentation for Camelot provides instructions for installing via pip and conda (https://camelot-py.readthedocs.io/en/master/user/install-deps.html), but not Poetry. As I understand (or misunderstand) it, packages are added to Poetry environments via the pyproject.toml file and then calling "poetry install."
I updated pyrpoject.toml as follows, having identified the current Camelot version as 0.10.1 (camelot --version):
[tool.poetry.dependencies]
python = "^3.8"
PyPDF2 = "2.12.1"
camelot = "^0.9.0"
This led to the error:
Because camelot3 depends on camelot (^0.9.0) which doesn't match any versions, version solving failed.
Same problem if I set (camelot = "0.10.1"). So I took the Camelot reference out of pyproject.toml, and ran the following command from within my Poetry virtual environment:
pip install “camelot-py[base]”
I was able to successfully proceed from here, but that doesn’t feel right. Is it wrong to try to force this project into Poetry, and should I instead consider using different package managers for different projects? Am I misunderstanding how Poetry works? What else am I missing here?
Whenever you see pip install 'Something[extra]' you can replace it with poetry add 'Something[extra]'.
Alternatively you can write it directly in the pyproject.toml and then run poetry install instead:
[tool.poetry.dependencies]
# ...
Something = { extras = ["extra"] }
Note that in your question you wrote camelot in the pyproject.toml but it is camelot-py that you should have written.
I am using Coq (versions 8.5-6), installed w/ Nix. I want to install ssreflect, preferably also w/ Nix. The only information I found about this is here. However, this is not about installing ssreflect, merely trying it out. Nevertheless, I tried to try it out, but ended up w/ hundreds of warnings (about the contents of various .v and .ml4 files) and couldn't wait for the process to end. A fairly typical warning looked like this:
File "./algebra/ssralg.v", line 856, characters 0-39: Warning:
Implicit Arguments is deprecated; use Arguments instead
So the question: How on earth do I install ssreflect w/ Nix?
EDIT: After reading ejgallego's comments, it seems it may be impossible to install ssreflect w/ Nix -- esp. if one wants install only ssreflect w/out the other modules (fingroup, algebra, etc.). So I've also the following question:
Would the standard Opam or make install installation of ssreflect work w/ a Nix-installed Coq?
There are a few things that you need to be aware of:
Nix is a source-based package manager with a binary cache. A lot of packages are pre-built and available in the binary cache, thus their installation doesn't take long; some packages (in particular development libraries) are not pre-built and Nix, when installing them will take the time it needs to compile them. Please be patient: you will only need to wait for the full compilation the first time (and yes, math-comp emits lots of warning upon compilation); next times, the package will be already available in your local Nix store.
Since OPAM is also source-based, using OPAM instead of Nix won't make you save time. You can't mixup Nix-installed Coq with OPAM installed SSReflect because the latter will want the former as an OPAM dependency.
The Nix way to use libraries is not to install them but to load them with nix-shell instead. nix-shell will "install" the libraries and set some environment variables for you (e.g. $COQPATH in this case).
You can also compile the package from source yourself using a Nix-installed Coq but you cannot run make install because this would try to install SSReflect at the same place where Coq is installed but the Nix store is non-mutable. Instead you could skip this step, and set up $COQPATH manually.
Indeed, the compilation of the full math-comp takes very long. There is a Coq ssreflect package which is lighter. You can get it using:
nix-shell -p coqPackages_8_6.ssreflect
Jython Package installation issue, using pip
Hi, I have installed Jython2.7 configured with pydev in eclipse neon, also configured python 3.6 package
I am able to install packages for python using pip installer?
pip install "packagename"
Below are some of the packages in python/Lib/Site-packages directory
I was able to install all the packages
How do I use pip installer to install packages for jython?
I tried to install Jip package with
jython install setup.py
The binary File got installed in the Jython/Lib/Site-packages folder
However, I am not able to use it.
where and how do I get Jython package binaries like jip?
Also, Please let me know how to search jython packages?
Also, How to make pip install library packages in jython?
Any other configuration like jython home, etc that should be made?
This answer is going to be really generic but I just recently have slogged my way through the setup for jython/jip/pip and here's roughly what I had to do.
Firstly, I'm running Windows 7 64 Bit from behind a proxy (work machine.)
Had to install jython 2.7.0 instead of 2.7.1 because (I think anyway) 2.7.1 requires admin privileges which I don't have on my work PC.
Pip didn't install correctly during the Jython installation and I spent an obscene amount of time trying to get it installed and functioning as I knew it from my cpython days. NOTE: Just because you get pip installed, doesn't mean you can use any package on a python package repo. As of 2.7.0, Jython doesn't have end to end capability to interpret/compile some libraries that rely on certain python wrappers of native OS function calls. I believe 2.7.1 makes solid progress in the direction of supporting all needed native calls but don't quote me on that. For example, I tried to use wxPython to make a simple GUI to test my jython install. Trying to install it from pip kept causing really non-specific error info that took me a lot of time to figure out that the cause was jython simply couldn't compile the wxPython source so beware.
I had to set environment variables 'http_proxy' and 'https_proxy' in the form of http://proxyhosturl:port and https://proxyhosturl:port respectively to get out from behind the proxies without having to invoke pip with the proxy switch every time I called it.
To actually install pip, have a look here. These instructions are for Python and Linux/Unix but the principle is roughly the same. Just use jython -m instead of python -m and ignore the '$' at the start of each command line.
Also be sure to CD to your python_home/bin folder when invoking the ez_install exe.
If that doesn't work (didn't for me), try using get-pip.py script with these instructions https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/ (remember jython instead of python etc.). Download it, cd to the download location and follow the noted install steps. Worth noting is about half way down the install instructions where it details installing from local archives (source/binary zip or tar.gz archives of pip and setuptools as better described here: https://packaging.python.org/tutorials/installing-packages/#installing-from-local-archives).
The links to the bin archives of pip and setuptools are here:
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pip
It may also be worth making sure that your PATH environment variable has the jython/bin path in the variable value. The jython installer should do this but, again, mine did not.
If all goes well, you should be able to invoke pip with the --version switch and if it prints a line with the installed pip version info then you should be good to go
Another quirky issue I had was I could invoke a function of pip one time and any subsequent times I would get a stack trace ending with something along the lines of an object not having a certain property. I fixed that by finding my temp directory by opening a windows explorer instance and typing %TEMP% in the address bar and hitting enter, it should take you to a subdir of your AppData folder and there you may see a folder with the name of the package you were trying to install and the text "_pip" somewhere in the directory name. Delete the directory and try the pip install command again. I had to do this + invoke pip install pip -U to update my install to the latest version. Then pip began behaving correctly in my instance.
pip search numpy (or your library name) will generate a list of results with the same logic it uses to locate your desired package when you call pip install but, again, just because it returns a matching package doesn't mean it will compile when you install it (numpy doesn't work because of the missing java to C native function calls I described earlier.) The trade off is that you can import code artifacts from Java JAR files in your Jython script files and leverage their functionality with relative ease. Between the public Java APIs available and the python packages that work with the jython interpretor, you can (in my experience) come up with a way to accomplish your task. See the following info on JIP, Maven and IDEs.
IDE and jython integration (Eclipse)
- If you are stuck using Eclipse (like me) it actually has pretty decent support for python development. Install the PyDev plugin for Eclipse from Help -> Install Software. Put in this URL https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/pydev-python-ide-eclipse, hit tab, and select the PyDev plugin and hit 'finish.'
- Setup the jython interpretor info from Windows -> Preferences -> PyDev. Provide the path to your jython.jar file.
- You should now be able to use File -> New PyDev project to create a basic python project and configure it to use your version of Jython and Java.
Brief Overview of Jip and Maven
- jip is a jython package that is invoked very similarly to pip but instead will download JAR files from the Maven Central Repository instead of python packages from pypi.com, for example. See the install instructions described here. Note the install procedure for a global jip install which differ from just pip install jip. https://pypi.python.org/pypi/jip/
- I never got jip to work exactly as I wished because there's not a ton of documentation on it outside of what I already linked. However, if you install a JAR using jip, you have to go to your project in Eclipse and actually add the JARs themselves to your PYTHONPATH in order for import statements and editing to have intellisense and so that you don't get a classnotfound exception at runtime. See following screen shot.
- There is a JIP config file that you can use similar to the pip config ini file but I have yet to find any exhaustive documentation on it's setup.
Note in the above screen shot the first entry in the External libraries entries. By default, pip places installed packages in that directory so to enable eclipse to find them, you need to also ensure that location is entered.
In Conclusion
- I have more to add to this answer and I will do so as soon as possible. In the meantime, see this example project I've loaded into github.
https://github.com/jheidlage1222/jython_java_integration_example
It shows basic config and how to interface with JARs from python code. I used the apache httpcomponents library as an example. Good luck amigo.
Maybe it's because I'm new to shared environments where I have no root access or the dpkg/apt family of tools, but I wanted to install from source (for instance, gcc/gdb), possibly by using wget to grab the tarball, unpack it, and point configure --prefix=$HOME, before calling make; make install, but I'm having some issues. Namely, the whitelist (obvious), and secondly the configure step is giving me trouble.
Can someone walk me through this process? Pythonanywhere comes with make, so it's not as if they don't want you doing this.
EDIT
Perhaps gcc/gdb may not be the best example -- together they are close to half the 500MB allotment for free accounts.
Any pure python modules will install with ease. Unfortunately you can't install modules that require a compiler. The Python Anywhere staff is generally very accommodating to get packages requested installed to the battery's included for all to enjoy.
Feel free to make a request to the PA forum
or
Email the staff: support#pythonanywhere.com
For clarity. To install a pure python module you just use
pip-3.2 install --user <package_name>
Change 3.2 as needed for the Python version you want and of course change <package_name> to your desired package.
