A library to control Finger Lakes Instrumentation cameras. It provides the SDSS `gfaCamera` and `fvcCamera` actors to control the Guide, Focus and Acquisition cameras and Field View Camera, respectively.

## Installation

In general you should be able to install ``flicamera`` by doing

```console

pip install sdss-flicamera

```

Although `flicamera` should handle all the compilation of the FLI libraries, you may still need to modify your system to give your user access to the FLI USB devices. See [here](https://github.com/sdss/flicamera/blob/master/cextern/README.md) for more details.

To build from source, use

```console

git clone [email protected]:sdss/flicamera

cd flicamera

pip install .[docs]

```

## Development

`flicamera` uses [poetry](http://poetry.eustace.io/) for dependency management and packaging. To work with an editable install it's recommended that you setup `poetry` and install `flicamera` in a virtual environment by doing

```console

poetry install

```

Pip does not support editable installs with PEP-517 yet. That means that running `pip install -e .` will fail because `poetry` doesn't use a `setup.py` file. As a workaround, you can use the `create_setup.py` file to generate a temporary `setup.py` file. To install `flicamera` in editable mode without `poetry`, do

```console

pip install --pre poetry

python create_setup.py

pip install -e .

```
