A Flight-Proven, Multi-Platform, Open-Source Flight Software Framework\n\n\n\n\n#\nF´ (F Prime) is a component-driven framework that enables rapid development and deployment of spaceflight and other embedded software applications. Originally developed at the [Jet Propulsion Laboratory](https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/), F´ has been successfully deployed on [several space applications](https://fprime.jpl.nasa.gov/overview/projects/). It is tailored but not limited to small-scale spaceflight systems such as CubeSats, SmallSats, and instruments.\n\n**Please Visit the F´ Website:** [https://fprime.jpl.nasa.gov](https://fprime.jpl.nasa.gov/) for more information.\n\n\n## What does F´ provide\n\n- An architecture that decomposes flight software into discrete components with well-defined interfaces\n- A C++ framework that provides core capabilities such as message queues and threads\n- Modeling tools for specifying components and connections and automatically generating code\n- A growing collection of ready-to-use components\n- Testing tools for testing flight software at the unit and integration levels.\n\nLearn more about [F´ key features](https://fprime.jpl.nasa.gov/overview).\n\n\n## System Requirements\n\nThe following system requirements apply to your workstation for developing F´ applications. To see the list of supported platforms on which F´ applications can run on, see [Supported Platforms](./docs/user-manual/framework/supported-platforms.md).\n\n1. Linux, Windows with WSL, or macOS operating system\n\n2. [git](https://git-scm.com/)\n\n3. [Python 3.10+](https://www.python.org/downloads/), [virtual environments](https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html), and [PIP](https://pypi.org/project/pip/)\n\n4. [Clang](https://clang.llvm.org/) or [GNU C and C++ compilers](https://gcc.gnu.org/) (e.g. gcc and g++)\n\n\nClick to Expand: How to Verify System Requirements\n\n2. `git --version`\n\n3. `python --version` and `python -m venv -h`. Your system might use an alternate like `
