  git clone https://github.com/TrySpaceOrg/tryspace-lab.git
  cd tryspace-lab
  

• Download and initialize the submodules: git submodule update --init --recursive

• Prepare environment and build: make

• Start the lab: make start

The various services will take a few seconds to stabilize and flight software to finish it's initialization.

• Access GSW (YAMCS): http://localhost:8090

• You'll be able to send commands, view the current links, etc. in YAMCS so poke around!
