Please note, for all csv input variable explinations, please read CSV Parameters
You will need to install git, in order to download the exif2timestream package.
Open a terminal and type:
sudo apt-get install -y git
Open a terminal and navigate to the directory where you want the exif2timestream package.
git clone https://github.com/borevitzlab/exif2timestream.git
First Step is to make sure you have virtualenv installed. This can be done with:
$ pip install virtualenv
Next step is to create a directory for you to work inside. In this case, we will call it exif. We also need to move inside this directory at the same time.
$ mkdir exif
$ cd exif
Now we will create the Virtual environment
$ virtualenv venv
At this point we have created our python virtual environment. Any time we wish to use this virtual environment we must run the command:
$ source venv/bin/activate
Any time we want to stop using this virtual environment we must run the command (but we don't need to run this now):
$ deactivate
Some computers may not have the required system packages required for Exif2timestream.py. These include python, libjpeg ect. A script has been created for just this purpose. You can run it by running the command
$ sudo ./extra_install.sh
This will install all required python packages for the system.
$ sudo ./install
If this fails, then you may need to run the extra_install script.
To test the installation, simply navigate to the root directory, and run python exif2timestream.py.
You should recieve the following output:
