how_to_install_scarphase.txt

Here's the steps I used to install scarphase:

1. run "git clone https://github.com/uart/scarphase.git" in the directory you want the scarphase/ folder in
2. run "cd scarphase" then "git submodule update --init --recursive"
2. install dependencies - try "sudo apt install cmake doxygen libunwind-dev autoconf automake libtool curl make g++ unzip"
3. install protobuf - see below
4. install boost - see below
5. install python 3 - try "sudo apt install python3-pip"
6. install python packages - try "pip install scipy scikit-learn matplotlib prettytable progressbar numpy proto-plus"
7. now, you can cd into scarphase and run "cmake ." then "make"
make might throw some warnings, but it should still compile and say [100%] at the end


how to install protobuf
1. change into the directory where you want the protobuf/ folder in
2. run "git clone https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf.git"
3. cd into protobuf then run "git submodule update --init --recursive"
4. then run "./autogen.sh"
5. then run "./configure" then "make -j$(nproc)" then "make check" then "sudo make install" and "sudo ldconfig"
6. restart bash by running "bash"
7. test by trying to run "protoc" - should print out some help info
8. you may need to install proto-plus from pip with "pip install proto-plus" so that python can use it. idk why though

how to install boost
1. run "wget -c https://boostorg.jfrog.io/artifactory/main/release/1.77.0/source/boost_1_77_0.tar.gz"
2. run "tar -xvf boost_1_77_0.tar.gz -C boost" to extract boost into a folder named "boost"
3. cd into boost then run " ./bootstrap.sh --with-libraries=program_options"
4. figure out your user directory which should be like /home/username (same as when you "cd ~" and run "pwd")
then run "./b2 install --prefix=/home/username/.boost"
5. add boost to your path by running "echo 'export PATH=/home/username/.boost/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc"
5. restart bash by running "bash"
6. test by trying to run "b2 --help" - should print out some help info
