Hi @debaditya22

General build instructions are here: https://tsduck.io/doxy/building.html

For a Ubuntu system, the simplest procedure is the following:

1. Get source code: git clone https://github.com/tsduck/tsduck.git
2. Install prerequisites for build: tsduck/scripts/install-prerequisites.sh
3. Build an installer: make -C tsduck installer
4. Collect the .deb packages in tsduck/pkg/installers and install them

There are a few sample Python programs in tsduck/sample/sample-python.

The Python module for TSDuck is installed in directory /usr/share/tsduck/python. You need to add it in your PYTHONPATH environment variable.

The general TSDuck library is designed for C++ applications. Only a high-level subset is available for Python and Java applications. Overview here: https://tsduck.io/doxy/jpbindings.html
