pip install -e .
If you want to create a new package of the VirtualMCU you have to first add the token to your .pypirc:
nano ~/.pypirc
add this in the file: [distutils] index-servers = testpypi pypi
[testpypi] repository = https://test.pypi.org/legacy/ username = token password = <API_TOKEN>
write the API Key that is in the google drive of the Hyperloop Team: Avionics/firmware/api_token.txt
for safety .pypirc only available for your user: chmod 600 ~/.pypirc
then you have to create the new package make sure you have install build (pip install build), IMPORTANT: change the version of the package before doing this: python3 -m build
python3 -m pip install --upgrade twine //only first time python3 -m twine upload --repository testpypi dist/*
If you want to use the Package only as User: pip install --upgrade -i https://test.pypi.org/simple/ vmcu
