As well as here for the hardware: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIikCcjQFL0

How to install it ? The windows standalone .exe version of the code is not yet available but I'm working on it.

So, in order to run the GUI on your computor, you need python installed and some package.

The current latest version V1.1.0 of Phoenix is optimized with python 3 and if you want to run it without any issue I, first advise you install Anaconda that will tke care of all your fresh python environment.

Get the instalation package here: https://www.anaconda.com/download Launch the installation, it should run smoothly as you don't need anything else.
