Setup a Virtual Machine (VM) and set the internet connection as "Bridged". Open a terminal and install dronekit, dronekit-sitl and mavproxy using pip

********************************
NOTE: THIS SETUP IS OBSOLETE. IN ORDER TO INSTALL DRONEKIT DOWNLOAD THE REPOSITORY AND INSTALL FROM SOURCE:
sudo python setup.py build
sudo python setup.py install
dronekit--sitl is obsolete
Check this video for running sitl with Mission Planner https://youtu.be/o6o5IcTAwgM

*******************************

pip install mavproxy
pip install dronekit
pip install dronekit-sitl

Start the simulator with
dronekit-sitl copter

Share the connection with the localhost and external UDP (as your phone for example)
mavproxy.py --master tcp:127.0.0.1:5760 --out:127.0.0.1:14551 --out udp:(ip address):14550

On windows, open Mission Planner (or in your phone open Tower) and connect the UDP port 14550

In Linux, write your script and connect the vehicle to "udp:127.0.0.1:14550"

Enjoy
