What packages are required for running on Ubuntu?

[Neopolaria]

Hi there, I am currently in my college's RockSat program and we are developing a star tracker for use in flight. We have been unable to test the software out because it seems we are missing packages. May I please have a list of all required packages? Thank you.

Hi, any update? I'm seeing the same error. I'm on WSL running Debian.

Did you install the dependencies as shown in the README instructions?

Hi, yes I did and that's correct. I fixed it by updating these lines:

openstartracker/tests/unit_test.sh

Line 9 in a72f519

PYTHON="/usr/bin/python3.10"

openstartracker/beast/Makefile

Line 2 in a72f519

PYTHONHEADERS=/usr/include/python3.10

to the installed Python version (3.13 in my case). thank you!
