Installation

FIREQ-Client is implemented in Python and can be installed locally in a virtual environment. The current documentation assumes Python 3.11.7.

Requirements

The client depends on the packages listed in the repository requirements file. A typical setup is:

python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

On Windows PowerShell, the activation command is:

.\.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1

Running the client

Before launching the client, make sure you know the board’s server address and port. run_client.py prompts for both values at startup; pressing Enter uses 0.0.0.0 and 5000 as the defaults.

Now, the client can be started with:

python run_client.py

The startup script currently points to the default server address and port defined in the repository. The address and port are entered at runtime.
