====== INDI ======

[[http://www.indilib.org/|INDI]] Library is the standard astronomical [[http://www.indilib.org/devices/|equipment]] driver for Linux and macOS.

==== Linux ====

You can install INDI with the packages provided by your Linux distribution, but as this is a rapidly moving project it is best to get the [[http://www.indilib.org/download.html|latest version]] directly from the project.\\
For example for Debian/Ubuntu see https://launchpad.net/~mutlaqja/+archive/ubuntu/ppa\\
It is also easy to build INDI from source. You can get the script I use myself:[[https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pchev/ccdciel/master/scripts/indi/build_indi.sh|build_indi.sh]]. Be sure to install the prerequisites and add the drivers you need in the setup section at the beginning of the script.


==== macOS ====

[[https://www.indilib.org/support/tutorials/162-indi-web-manager.html|INDIWebManager]] and [[https://github.com/pchev/indistarter/wiki|INDIStarter]] distribution include the INDI server and the drivers. 

Install INDIWebManager from: https://github.com/rlancaste/INDIWebManagerApp/releases\\
or\\
Install INDIStarter from: https://sourceforge.net/projects/indistarter/files/


==== Windows ====

There is no INDI server for Windows but you can run CCDciel on Windows to connect to a INDI server running on a remote computer, a Raspberry Pi for example.

==== Additional utilities ====

You can use [[https://github.com/pchev/indistarter/wiki|IndiStarter]] to help to manage the INDI server and the drivers.\\
Download for Linux and macOS are available from [[https://sourceforge.net/projects/indistarter/files/]]

If you use a EQmod mount it can be useful to install [[https://github.com/pchev/eqmodgui|EQmodGUI]] to easily control the main options. This also give you a virtual handpad to move the mount.\\
Download for Linux and macOS are available from [[https://sourceforge.net/projects/eqmodgui/files/]]

The Indigo server variant may work by using the INDI protocol compatibility but is untested.
