Workaround Fedora 24 for non-existing plugdev group about python-seabreeze HOT 5 CLOSED

Many thanks for publishing the workaround, I should have seen it earlier ...
I tried to install seabreeze under 64-bit Fedora 28.
I additionally had the problem that the recommended conda installation caused a no more working dnf & dnfdragora.
If it is not too much work, what will be the steps for a complete Seabreeze installation under Fedora?

Sorry for the delay, I just saw your comment. May be a bit late already, but here's what I do to not interfere with the system's Python installation at all:

1. Install Anaconda as suggested in THE RECOMMENDED WAY.
   • Run the Anaconda installation script.
   • The Anaconda installation script asks at the end if want to prepend the conda path your system's PATH variable; Don't.
   • Instead, create aliases for the anaconda binaries to use them from the system shell, e.g. add one or more of the following lines to the end of the ~/.bashrc file:
     alias conda=/path/to/anaconda3/bin/conda for the conda command,
     alias conda=/path/to/anaconda3/bin/spyder to launch the Spyder IDE shipped with Anaconda,
     alias conda=/path/to/anaconda3/bin/jupyter-notebook for the jupyter notebook server, etc.
2. With Anaconda installed and the alias in place; install python-seabreeze as indicated in the original post:
   conda install -c poehlmann python-seabreeze
3. Install udev rules as indicated here for Fedora. Note that I needed permission via the udev rules only for myself, i.e. for my user account. In a multi-user environment the best way to go would probably be the creation of a dedicated GROUP to which to add all the users who need access.
   That should do the trick.

Thanks for coming back !!!
I will follow your instructions on the PC with Fedora 29 where it will be used with the spectrometer.
On the notebook I am using, anaconda 29.44.7 is already installed with Fedora 29.
But conda and Spyder are not installed and on the anaconda website
https://www.anaconda.com/download/#linux
version 5.3.1 is the current one .
A bit confusing ...

Welcome!
This anaconda 29.44.7 you found already installed is the Fedora system installer, which is not at all what you are looking for here.
Just go ahead with this and run the installer script. It will ask you for an installation directory. Note the path to this directory or specify one yourself and use it when setting up the aliases. With that you should be all set.

With version 1.0.0 the udev rules set MODE 0666 and don't use groups anymore which means it should work on any distribution and fix this bug :)

also there's an installer script that comes with the new version. After installing seabreeze you can run

seabreeze_os_setup

and it takes care of installing the udev rules for you 🎉
