You will need to build an [interface](https://github.com/lowobservable/coax) and connect it to your computer.

You will need Python 3.8 installed.
I'd recommend using a Python [virtual environment](https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html) to isolate oec from your system-wide packages:

Install dependencies using `pip`:
```
python -m venv VIRTUALENV
. VIRTUALENV/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
