Thanks for feedback and interest.

There is a simple manual page (see
https://github.com/pytrainer/pytrainer/blob/master/man/pytrainer.7)
but installation on your system depends on how you get pytrainer.

Please check with correspondent package mantainer for OpenSuse, we are
happy to support if there is any issue building pytrainer for any
distribution.

Actually the idea is that pytrainer directly retrieve data from your
Garmin Forerunner using third party applications.

As far as I know there is no step by step guide available but of
course you can check how everything works looking at source code
available on GitHub: https://github.com/pytrainer/pytrainer.

Please feel free to create a new one so it can be integrated in the
wiki (https://github.com/pytrainer/pytrainer/wiki)

As far as I remember this unit has something to do with ANT when
connecting to a computer and this causes a lot of troubles on
GNU/Linux. Unfortunately I can help further on this because I have
never owned one of them.

Best regards,

David
