Downloading the simulator⌁

Cloning the repository⌁

Log into your Ubuntu terminal, and then run this command :

git clone https://github.com/lsandini/cgmsim.git

That's it. A folder called cgmsim has been created for you and all the needed files are in there.

If you'd like to run more simulators on the same machine, just run:

git clone https://github.com/lsandini/cgmsim.git cgmsim2

... and a separate folder called "cgmsim2" is created, identical to "cgmsim"

Installing dependencies⌁

Enter the installation directory of your choice with the cd command (cd = change directory):

cd cgmsim

or

cd cgmsim2

... or whatever your named your install folder.

In your linux terminal, type:

sudo bash install_dependencies.sh

Your linux user password will be required. The script will once again launch the update of Ubuntu default packages, and install a fresh version of nodejs. The basic nodeJS version in Ubuntu Server 20.04, (updated on Oct. 15th 2021), is v10.19.0 on Raspberry Pi 3 or 4, and v12.21.0 on a DigitalOcean droplet.

You might see warnings during the installation and it might take a little while. Disregard the warnings and just wait for the process to complete.

Now we can move on to executing the interactive setup script, that will set the simulated T1D person's physical properties, then link this "virtual patient" to their own Nightscout website.
