Install¶

Doly ships with the Python SDK preinstalled on the robot (Raspberry Pi OS, Python 3.11).

Using the SDK (on the robot)¶

Most users can start immediately:

Import the module (e.g., import doly_arm)
Run the module example.py from the repository as a starting point
Build your own script based on the examples

Developer install (rebuild from source)¶

If you modify a module’s source code, rebuild and reinstall that module on the robot.

Typical workflow (per module):

Edit source/bindings.cpp
Build a wheel using the module’s pyproject.toml
Install the wheel on the robot using pip

The exact build commands can differ based on your toolchain and where the C++ libraries live. We document the recommended build steps in each module’s repository and keep this page focused on end-user setup.
