### Windows, Mac, Linux
First make sure you have Python 3 installed on your machine. Then install PyQt5. To install PyQt5 use `brew install pyqt5` or `conda install pyqt` if you are using anaconda. If you are on Linux you can do `sudo apt-get install python3-pyqt5`. Now we need to add a few packages:
```
pip3 install --upgrade -pip
pip3 install pyserial
pip3 install opencv-python
python3.5 -m pip install --upgrade pip
python3.5 -m pip install pyserial opencv-python
```

```
sudo apt-get install libatlas-base-dev
sudo apt-get install libjasper-dev
sudo apt-get install libqtgui4
sudo apt-get install libqt4-qt3support
