PyMT Installation on Ubuntu 9.10 guide

by Joe

WARNING: this tutorial presumes that you have python 2.6.4 installed on your system. It should be installed by default on ubuntu 9.10, but you can check by typing this into the terminal:

python

if this (or similar) appears:

Python 2.6.4rc2 (r264rc2:75497, Oct 20 2009, 02:54:09
[GCC 4.4.1] on linux2
Type “help”, “copyright”, “credits” or “license” for more information.
>>>

Then python is installed on your system.

These packages are required for PyMY:

• Pyglet
• NumPY
• Sphinx
• PyMT
  

To install Sphix and Pyglet you will need to run the following in terminal:

sudo aptitude install python-sphinx

sudo aptitude install python-numpy

To install pyglet you need to download this file:

http://pyglet.googlecode.com/files/pyglet-1.1.3.tar.gz

Then extract it to /home/username/pyglet/ and install it by typing this in terminal:

cd /home/username/pyglet/pyglet-1.1.3

sudo python setup.py install

You will then need to download the PyMY 0.3.1 files here: http://pymt.googlecode.com/files/pymt-0.3.1.tar.gz

Extract the files to /home/username/pymt/

Then you need to install PyMY in terminal like this:

cd /home/username/pymt/pymt-0.3.1/

sudo python setup.py install

If there are no errors, then pymt has been sucessfully installed!

Now we can start to play with pymt
