sorry, noob:
pi@custompi:~/pi_satellite_announcer $ make run
/bin/sh: 1: .: environment.sh: not found
make: *** [Makefile:3: run] Error 2
pi@custompi:~/pi_satellite_announcer $ ls
deployment env environment.sh Makefile README.md src

I got the same error.

change your environment.sh path in makefile like this
@. env/bin/activate && . /home/neo/pi_satellite_announcer/environment.sh && cd src && python app.py

Looks like it's not announcing many of the satellites. I'm interested in the ham satellites but when they pass overhead only a few are occasionally announced. When the program is first run it notes that it only loaded 22867 of 47495 satellites, so perhaps for some reason it's eliminating the satellites of interest. Any way to alleviate this issue?

Interesting - this time when I reran it loaded 45k of the satellites after a message that it was saving the TLE cache and saving metadata. Perhaps there was some initialization problem. I'll monitor it later.

I tried install and running the satellite tracking program and running it. Was not successful when I got to "make run."

The error I am getting then "make run." Does anyone have any ideas how to fix the problem?

Error:

pi@raspberrypi:~/pi_satellite_announcer $ make run
/bin/sh: 1: .: environment.sh: not found
make: *** [Makefile:3: run] Error 2

Makefile information:

.PHONY: run

run:

@. env/bin/activate && . environment.sh && cd src && python app.py

.PHONY: install

install:

@CD deployment && bash install.sh

Any chance this could be run on a mac or pc? Possibly within a docker container?

Thanks
