## Quick Start

1. Configure Conda Environment

Uni-Lab-OS recommends using `mamba` for environment management. Choose the appropriate environment file for your operating system:

```bash
# Create new environment
mamba env create -f unilabos-[YOUR_OS].yaml
mamba activate unilab

# Or update existing environment
# Where `[YOUR_OS]` can be `win64`, `linux-64`, `osx-64`, or `osx-arm64`.
conda env update --file unilabos-[YOUR_OS].yml -n environment_name

# Currently, you need to install the `unilabos_msgs` package
# You can download the system-specific package from the Release page
conda install ros-humble-unilabos-msgs-0.9.8-xxxxx.tar.bz2

# Install PyLabRobot and other prerequisites
git clone https://github.com/PyLabRobot/pylabrobot plr_repo
cd plr_repo
pip install .[opentrons]
```

2. Install Uni-Lab-OS:

```bash
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/dptech-corp/Uni-Lab-OS.git
cd Uni-Lab-OS

# Install Uni-Lab-OS
pip install .
```

3. Start Uni-Lab System:

Please refer to [Documentation - Boot Examples](https://readthedocs.dp.tech/Uni-Lab/v0.8.0/boot_examples/index.html)

## Message Format

Uni-Lab-OS uses pre-built `unilabos_msgs` for system communication. You can find the built versions on the [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/dptech-corp/Uni-Lab-OS/releases) page.
