The Framework - thica/ORCA-Remote GitHub Wiki

Orca is witten in Python. Python is an interpreter language, so the sources will not be compiled. You do not need a compiler and you do not need a developmnet environment. Using PyCharm as an IDE is helpful, but not mandantory. A simple text editir will do the job as well.

Orca is based on the Kivy framework. Kivy is a portable framework for developing mobile applications using python. Currently kivy is supporting the following Operating Systems:

• Windows
• Android
• Unix
• MacOSx
• IOS

Due to the lack of availability of any Apple devices. MacOSx and IOS is untested.

To setup a development environment for ORCA ou ned the following components:

• A PC running Windows 7/10 or Linux (Ubuntu is tested)
• Python installed (Version 2.7 or 3.7 or both)
• Pycharm as IDE
• install kivy following the instruction from the kivy home page (incl. gstreamer)

Within Pycharm you need to add the following python modules

• future
• mw-client
• plyer
• requests
• rsa
• urllib3
• wakeonlan
• ws4py
