To install PSLab on Debian based GNU/Linux system, the following dependencies must be installed.

### Dependencies

* Python 3.4 or higher [Link to Official download page](https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/)
### Prerequisites & Dependencies
* Python 3.4 or higher [Link to Official download page](https://www.python.org/downloads/)

* NumPy   **For numerical calculations**
* PySerial   **For device connection**
* iPython-qtconsole   **_Optional_**
* [Git](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git)

**Note**: If you are only interested in using PSLab as an acquisition device without a display/GUI, only one repository [pslab-python](https://github.com/fossasia/pslab-python) needs to be installed. If you like a GUI, install the [pslab-desktop app](https://github.com/fossasia/pslab-desktop) and follow the instructions of the Readme in that repo.

### How To Install on Linux

cd into the directories
Clone [pslab-python](https://github.com/fossasia/pslab-python) repository

$ git clone <REPO>

Go into **pslab-python** directory

$ cd <SOURCE_DIR>

and run the following
And run the following

$ sudo make clean
$ sudo make
$ sudo make install

Now you are ready with the PSLab software on your machine.
Now you connect PSLab device to your machine, to check whether device is detected, run `$ ls -l /dev/ttyACMx`: x is 0 for the first device.
