For the Pyxida ground station

Currently, we use Python 3.4 and PySide (A port of Qt for Python) for the ground station. However, we are considering moving to PyQt, which would allow us to use Python 3.5+.

1. Download Python 3.4

The current ground station uses python 3.4. If you have another version of python installed, you will want to uninstall it before installing 3.4 to avoid future
conflicts. If you need differnt versions of python. I would recomend looking into python "virtual environments" (one tutorial can be found in the second half of
this article http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/dev/virtualenvs/). Here is the link for python 3.4

https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-344/

2. Download pyside and pyserial

These are additional software packages you need for developing for the ground station. You can get them by running the following commands in the command line/terminal:

pip install PySerial
pip install pyside
