Setting up Libre-FDATool
There are two alternative ways of getting Libre-FDATool up and running. It can be installed on a Python environment as a stand-alone module or deployed as a Virtual Appliance.
Standalone Mode
In order to run, Libre-FDATool needs a working Python environment with a collection of already configured scientific packages.

Libre-FDASys Virtual Appliance
Despite the fact that the Libre-FDATool is intended for being extremely easy to use, involving a quasi negligible learning curve, setting up all the required components may suppose a real pain -- unfortunately, this is a well known issue in the world of Open-Software.
When deploying the Libre-FDATool and its associated environment across different Operating Systems, we can find issues and differences not only in the installation process, but in the behavior of the full system depending on the versions of the required packages.
The Libre-FDATool has been included inside a Virtual Appliance that
includes all the required functionality, from the scientific Python
environment to the extra EDA tools: the Libre-FDASys
