The following instructions are for GNU/Linux operating system. Instruction for other OS will come in the future.
/!\ WARNING /!\
SàT is at a very early developpement stage, and is not intended for end user yet. You need to understand a minimum what you do to install it. Anyway, you can contact me if you need help (but I'm really busy, so don't expect a quick and accurate answer).
** DEPENDENCIES:
To use SàT, you will need to install:
- twisted (http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/) which is found in most distributions, at least core, web and words must be installed
- progressbar (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/progressbar/2.2) which can be installed with easy_install
- wokkel (http://wokkel.ik.nu/). /!\ the MUC branch (http://hg.ik.nu/ralphm/wokkel-muc-client-support-24-2) must be merged, please read instructions below
- wxWidgets (www.wxwidgets.org) which is found in most distributions. The more recent the version is, the better.
** PATHS:
You must have the main dir (with sat inside) and frontend in your PYTHONPATH. For example, if you have uncompressed the soft in /tmp/useless_soft:
> export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/tmp/useless_soft:/tmp/useless_soft/frontends
if you want to access jp, it can be a good idea to export its dir to your PATH variable:
> export PATH=$PATH:/tmp/useless_soft/frontends/jp
** INSTRUCTIONS:
Here are the instructions for the distribution I use (Kubuntu Karmic Koala), but instructions for other Gnu/Linux distributions must be really close.
To install SàT on a *buntu distribution, you first need to install dependencies:
> sudo aptitude install python-twisted python-twisted-core python-twisted-web python-twisted-word python-wxgtk2.8
You maybe need an updated repository for wxPython, take a look at http://wiki.wxpython.org/InstallingOnUbuntuOrDebian for more informations.
progressbar can be installed with easy_install:
> sudo easy_install progressbar
Wokkel is a bit more complicated to install as we need to merge two branches:
First be sure that mercurial is installed
> sudo aptitude install mercurial
then we go to a directory where we can clone the repositories and merge. If you don't want to code on wokkel, you can do it in /tmp:
> cd /tmp
> hg clone http://hg.ik.nu/wokkel wokkel
now we pull the other branch:
> cd wokkel
> hg pull -f http://hg.ik.nu/ralphm/wokkel-muc-client-support-24-2
time to merge and commit:
> hg merge wokkel-muc-client-support-24
> hg commit -m "Merged wokkel's MUC branch"
finally,we can install:
> sudo python setup.py install
Everything is fine ? Ok let's add the paths.
If you use bash, you need probably to do something like
> echo "export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:~/sat:~/sat/frontends" >> ~/.bashrc
> echo "export PATH=$PATH:~/sat/frontends/jp" >> ~/.bashrc
of course, replace ~/sat with the path where you installed SàT, and if you use zsh, replace .bashrc by .zshrc.
Restart a console or export manually the PATH.
Now everything should be OK, you can launch SàT. You have to launch the daemon first:
> cd ~/sat
> ./sat
You should be able to close you console or even X Window if you want.
Then launch one (ore more) frontend. For exemple, to use Wix:
> cd ~/sat/frontends/wix
> ./wix
enjoy =)
And don't hesitate to give feedback.
