source env/bin/activate

Using windows

env\Scripts\activate

To install dependecies of the project:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Example scrape and send to localhost:5005:

python main.py --p 1 --lat-min 40.83 --lat-max 40.875 --lon-min 29.233 --lon-max 29.292

To test the data transmiting over UDP while the main script is running:

python test_receive.py

Second time opening the project

Activate the virtual environment

Using unix

source env/bin/activate

Using windows

env\Scripts\activate

Example scrape and send to localhost:5005:

python main.py --p 1 --lat-min 40.83 --lat-max 40.875 --lon-min 29.233 --lon-max 29.292

Example scrape and print to console:

python main.py --p 0 --lat-min 40.83 --lat-max 40.875 --lon-min 29.233 --lon-max 29.292

To test the data transmiting over UDP while the main script is running:

python test_receive.py
