Programming BeagleBone Black (BBB)
Introduction
Because the BBB is an offline system, installation of any Python software must be completed via SFTP and Cloud9.
Install Seabreeze

The Beaglebone will have a Linux-based operating system: Debian.
To use the Ocean Optics SR6, we need to install a python program, called python-seabreeze.
I need to figure out what the distribution flavor of Debian is because the instructions call for a different line code to install the drivers depending on ‘distribution flavor’ of the Linux operating system. I think it will use the .deb packages.
So this will be the suitable code to install the packages for python-seabreeze:
1) Setup Linux
>>sudo apt-get install git-all build-essential libusb-dev
2) Prepare pip
>> python -m pip install --upgrade pip
3) Finally we can clone and install python-seabreeze:
>>git clone https://github.com/ap--/python-seabreeze.git python-seabreeze
>>cd python-seabreeze
>>python -m pip install .
This should install seabreeze in your python environment.
4)
Additional installation steps required by the specific operating system should be done by running the script provided by python-seabreeze. After installing via pip or conda or manually, run:
>>seabreeze_os_setup
