How to use btgatt-client Command Line Tool - bluez

How do I use btgatt-client command line tool? Am I missing something very simple here?
As of Bluez 5.50, it is under in the tools folder (https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/bluetooth/bluez.git/tree/tools/btgatt-client.c)
But when I try inputting the command, nothing seems to work.
pi#raspberrypi:~ $ btgatt-client
-bash: btgatt-client: command not found
pi#raspberrypi:~ $ sudo btgatt-client
sudo: btgatt-client: command not found
pi#raspberrypi:~ $ btgatt
-bash: btgatt: command not found
pi#raspberrypi:~ $ sudo btgatt
sudo: btgatt: command not found

Bluez sources needs to be compiled with tools support (by default it is enabled), but may be disabled in your raspberry PI build.
You can configure the source using
./configure --enable-tools
If want to cross compile, you may also need to use, "--host"
Or you can directly install the package "bluz-utils" from the package manager repository. For debian,
sudo apt-get install bluez-utils

Multiple issues trying to install PyBOSSA

I am trying to set up PyBOSSA on an AWS EC2 instance running Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. I am following the official instructions and have encountered three errors so far.
sudo apt-get install -y git postgresql postgresql-all postgresql-server-dev-all libpq-dev python-psycopg2 libsasl2-dev libldap2-dev libssl-dev python-virtualenv python-dev build-essential libjpeg-dev libssl-dev libffi-dev dbus libdbus-1-dev libdbus-glib-1-dev libldap2-dev libsasl2-dev python-pip python3-pip redis-server
cd ~
git clone --recursive https://github.com/Scifabric/pybossa
cd pybossa
virtualenv -p python3 env (I'm using Python3 explicitly as my system also has Python 2.7 installed).
source env/bin/activate
pip install -U pip
pip install -r ~/pybossa/requirements.txt
At this point, I start getting error messages... I have copied the stdout and stderr into a file, which I have uploaded here.
I'm not sure if the errors there are what have caused my later errors, but I pushed on through the instructions anyway in hopes it'd work...
cp settings_local.py.tmpl settings_local.py
cp alembic.ini.template alembic.ini
redis-server contrib/sentinel.conf --sentinel
I noted that the Redis server version was 4.0.9 (the instructions say it needs to be v2.6 or greater).
The output from starting the Redis server was as follows:
30284:X 30 Mar 03:09:22.004 # oO0OoO0OoO0Oo Redis is starting oO0OoO0OoO0Oo
30284:X 30 Mar 03:09:22.004 # Redis version=4.0.9, bits=64, commit=00000000, modified=0, pid=30284, just started
30284:X 30 Mar 03:09:22.004 # Configuration loaded
...I gather that's ok...
rqscheduler --host 127.0.0.1
This command wasn't installed on my system. I tried to use apt to install it, but there was nothing there. I also tried apt install rq rqscheduler rq-scheduler - nothing found. I then Googled and found the website for rq-scheduler, and found that I could install it by running pip install rq-scheduler
That installed correctly. Nonetheless, running the command rqscheduler --host 127.0.0.1 in the terminal still failed: rqscheduler: command not found.
Knowing that it was a Python package, I wondered if maybe I needed to prepend python3 onto the start of the command: python3 rqscheduler --host 127.0.0.1. Response: python3: can't open file 'rqscheduler': [Errno 2] No such file or directory.
I also tried pip3 install rq-scheduler (which installed fine) and then running the command, but encountered the same error.
I would appreciate knowing how to get that running, but for the purpose of this test, I skipped setting up Regis and the scheduler, and continued with the PyBOSSA instructions:
sudo su postgres
createuser -d -P pybossa
(Password set)
createdb pybossa -O pybossa
exit
python3 cli.py db_create
...and then I got this error:
File "cli.py", line 162
'''SELECT id, created FROM task_run WHERE created LIKE ('\x%')''')
^
SyntaxError: (unicode error) 'unicodeescape' codec can't decode bytes in position 54-55: truncated \xXX escape
I instead tried python cli.py db_create, just in case it'd work, and got a different error:
python cli.py db_create
ValueError: invalid \x escape
So I'm seeing three separate issues:
Installing the PyBOSSA-required Python packages.
The issue with the rqscheduler command.
The error when starting the PyBOSSA server.
What do these errors mean?
1 ) For the installation, try this:
virtualenv env
source env/bin/activate
sudo apt install python3-pip
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Which ended with no error.
2) Try :
pip install rq-scheduler==0.9.1
or
pip3 install rq-scheduler==0.9.1
3) The \ char need to be escaped (like \\) in python.
So you may alter the cli.py line 162 (using text editor) from:
'''SELECT id, created FROM task_run WHERE created LIKE ('\x%')''')
To:
'''SELECT id, created FROM task_run WHERE created LIKE ('\\x%')''')
But it will be better to be fixed by dev on github ...
CONCLUSION
According to official documentation,
PYBOSSA for python 3 We’ve finally migrated PYBOSSA to python 3. We’re
not going to merge into master until we test it in production a bit
more, so please, help us by testing it. All you have to do is
basically, check out the python3 branch (migrate-python3) and run it.
Then, any bug, issue you find, you just report it and we will be happy
to help you.
The PYBOSSA python3 version is freshly migrated so finaly is not very stable ... I expect that it will be better to use the PYBOSSA python2.7 branch and follow exactly the documentation.
And according to official github account they try to make money with support (?...)
Get professional support You can hire us to help you with your PYBOSSA
project or server (specially for python 2.7). Go to our website, and
contact us.
The issue has now been fixed for the master branch (https://github.com/Scifabric/pybossa/pull/1986). You can fetch the new code and use it.

Use gnome-terminal in codelite instead of default terminal

I'm trying to get gnome-terminal to work in codelite under
setting > preferences > terminal
I tried
gnome-terminal -x '$(CMD)'
but it gives me the following error
Failed to execute child process "/bin/sh -f /usr/lib/codelite/codelite_exec ./program" (No such file or directory)
I'm running Linux Mint 18.
Solution is to run
sudo update-alternatives --config x-terminal-emulator
from a terminal and select
/usr/bin/gnome-terminal.wrapper
as default terminal.
CodeLite uses x-terminal-emulator. So as long as you define x-terminal-emulator to point to the correct terminal it will work.
See this post for more information
I just came across this problem after upgrading to CodeLite 10.0 from the CodeLite repository. The problem occurs because CodeLite is now installing things in different directories - namely codelite_xterm and codelite_exec, which are now installed to /usr/bin/.
For me, on Ubuntu 16.10, I found the easiest solution was to change Settings > Preferences > Terminal to:
/usr/bin/codelite_xterm '$(TITLE)' '$(CMD)'
You can then run:
sudo update-alternatives --config x-terminal-emulator
to select the terminal you wish to use (the default on Ubuntu 16.10 is gnome-terminal, so you won't have to run the last command if you're happy with gnome-terminal).

Installation of sql relay fails

I just created a docker container and tried to install SQL Relay inside it.
I've checked the prerequisites here and followed the installation documents here.
However, at the end of make install of sqlrelay, I saw an error like this:
update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/sqlrelay: file does not exist
update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/sqlrcachemanager: file does not exist
make[1]: *** [install] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/sqlrelay-0.66.0/init'
make: *** [install-init] Error 2
What might be wrong with my installation?
Here's the docker file I used to start my installation:
FROM ubuntu:trusty
RUN apt-get update && \
apt-get install libxml2-dev libpcre3 libpcre3-dev libmysqld-dev -y
RUN apt-get install mysql-server libmysqlclient-dev -y
# sql relay prerequisites
RUN apt-get install g++ make perl php5-dev python-dev ruby-dev \
tcl-dev openjdk-7-jdk erlang-dev nodejs-dev node-gyp mono-devel \
libmariadbclient-dev libpq-dev firebird-dev libfbclient2 libsqlite3-dev \
unixodbc-dev freetds-dev mdbtools-dev -y
COPY rudiments-0.56.0.tar.gz /
COPY sqlrelay-0.66.0.tar.gz /
EXPOSE 80
Here are the outputs of ./configure, make, and make install inside sqlrelay-0.66.0 folder:
configure_log
make_log
make_install_log
If you need more information of my installation process, just let me know. I can provide it.
I think you should use ADD instead of COPY in your lines such as
COPY rudiments-0.56.0.tar.gz /
Your COPY just copies the .tar.gz, but does not unpack them
as with ADD
If the <src> parameter of ADD is an archive in a recognised compression format, it will be unpacked
This is extracted from
What is the difference between the `COPY` and `ADD` commands in a Dockerfile?
I have recently hit the same issue. The issue I found was that the init Makefile was incorrectly detecting the use of systemctl on Ubuntu Trusty and putting the scripts there. Later on the script would try to find the scripts in init.d and fail.
The solution is to edit the Makefile: sqlrelay-X.X.X/init/Makefile
Replace:
install:
if ( test -d "/lib/systemd/system" ); \
With:
install:
if ( test -d "/lib/systemd/system_x" ); \
Make a similar change to the uninstall option later in the script and it will now correctly install on Ubuntu.

Installing GDAL with ECW support

Most (all?) information online is outdated since ECW (Hexagon Geospatial/Intergraph) has recently released new versions with breaking changes (5.0, 5.1 and 5.2).
Most instructions result in errors like:
checking for libNCSEcw.so or libecwj2... configure: error: not found in /usr/local/lib or /usr/local/bin
This works for GDAL 1.11.2, but it should work back to 1.10.0.
Download the latest version of the ECW library from here (currently 5.5):
https://download.hexagongeospatial.com
Instructions for v5.2.1, but should be similar for the latest version:
$ unzip erdas-ecwjp2sdk-v5.2.1-linux.zip
$ chmod +x ERDAS_ECWJP2_SDK-5.2.1.bin
$ ./ERDAS_ECWJP2_SDK-5.2.1.bin
Choose Desktop Read-Only and accept the license. A directory named hexagon is extracted. Copy that to /usr/local.
$ sudo cp -r hexagon/ERDAS-ECW_JPEG_2000_SDK-5.2.1/Desktop_Read-Only /usr/local/hexagon
Link the .so library for the correct architecture:
$ sudo ln -s /usr/local/hexagon/lib/(x64|x86)/release/libNCSEcw.so /usr/local/lib/libNCSEcw.so
Then configure GDAL with this command:
$ ./configure --with-ecw=/usr/local/hexagon
Before I could see ECW support in gdalinfo --formats | grep -i ecw
I also had to run sudo ldconfig.
That was in Ubuntu 14.04 Linux.

Running script in FreeBSD

First steps in FreeBSD: trying to run my installation script. Fast help needed:
# ls
configure
# file configure
configure: Bourne-Again shell script text executable
# ./configure
./configure: Command not found
# configure
configure: Command not found
What is wrong, how can I execute this script?
Do you have bash installed? If not use FreeBSD Ports to install it. Use where bash to find out.
Use the force Luke :)
# pkg_add -r bash
May it be, that your's configure script doesn't have appropriate executions rights. Try to cast:
chmod 777 configure
If it works, fix it to
chmod 764 configure
configure scripts are ultra portable shell scripts. There is no need for bash here. The problem is somewhere else.
What's the first line in the configure script? Maybe a CR/LF snuck in, which is a common cause for a totally misleading error message saying that the script was not found, when it was the interpreter that was not found.
Please try /bin/sh ./configure
Install the bash package using
pkg add bash
or
make -C /usr/ports/shells/bash install clean
By default FreeBSD comes with tcsh and a POSIX compatible FreeBSD sh
On older FreeBSD systems you will need to do
rehash
before you can run it.
First line of this script (#!/usr/bin/bash, i suppose) should be changed to #!/usr/local/bin/bash.
And of course, you should have shells/bash port installed.
