Setting up and using the Shim Tool

1. Navigate to the directory and install the required packages

$ cd <path/to/shimTool>
$ pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Install / setup the pre-commit hooks

   $ pre-commit install

   Now when you commit, the pre-commit hooks will run and lint your code before you push. If you want to run the hooks manually, refer to https://pre-commit.com/#install or use pre-commit run --all-files

3. There is provided a configsTemplate.json. Copy this file with the name configs.json, and adjust the contents to be dependent on personal preferences and scanner setup. The passwords / host ids are generally common for the GE Nspire

4. Launch the tool. Use --no-gui to launch the tool in a python CLI or use --quiet to silence most of the logging and output.

$ python -i src/main.py [--no-gui] [--quiet]

Using just the ExSI Client
