Introduction

This is the documentation wiki of LabRPS. There are several ways to use this documentation: by exploring the hubs, by following the manual, or by using the Help menu entries from within LabRPS. This is a work in progress, written by the community of users and developers of LabRPS. If you find information that is wrong or missing, please help LabRPS!

The hubs

Users hub: This page contains documentation useful for LabRPS users in general: a list of all the plugins, detailed instructions on how to install and use the LabRPS application, tutorials, and all you need to get started.

Power users hub: This page gathers documentation for advanced users and people interested in writing Python scripts. There you will also find a repository of macros, instructions on how to install and use them, and more information about customizing LabRPS to your specific needs.

Developers hub: This section contains material for developers: How to compile LabRPS yourself, how the LabRPS source code is structured, how to navigate the source code, how to develop new plugins.

Get involved

How to participate

There is plenty to do inside the LabRPS project, if you are interested in helping us. Of course, there are programming tasks for C++ programmers, but there are also many things you can do even if you cannot code, such as

• writing documentation and editing the wiki (en)
• helping newcomers
• helping with the packaging of the latest release of LabRPS for your favourite operating system
• helping other people around you to discover LabRPS.

Source code

LabRPS can be compiled on all platforms. The source code is GPL-licensed and hosted on GitHub and mirrored on GitLab, SourceForge and CodeBerg. There are build instructions for Windows, Linux and MacOS.

About the development

For now, there is no roadmap for the whole LabRPS project. If you want to get involved it is best to ask in the Developer section of the LabRPS forum. Check the these pages to see the progress towards next release. All the development communication happens on the forum, so be sure to visit it if you are interested in participating.
