How To Install Mitter
|
|
|
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Requirements
|
|
|
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mitter requires Python, at least version 2.5. Version 2.6 should be
|
|
|
|
|
fine. There is no guarantee that it will work with Python 3.0 at this
|
|
|
|
|
point.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For the GTK interface, you'll need PyGTK installed. The minimum
|
|
|
|
|
version is 2.10 and Mitter should work fine with any further version
|
|
|
|
|
in the 2.x series. Again, there is no guarantee that it will work with
|
|
|
|
|
GTK 3.0 when it's released. Also notice that PyGTK is optional and
|
|
|
|
|
Mitter will use its console interfaces in this case.

Installation
|
|
|
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installation follows the default way of installing Python apps:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Using easy_install
|
|
|
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can install Mitter using easy_install. To install, simply call
|
|
|
|
|
``easy_install mitter``. It may require root access to install some
|
|
|
|
|
files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
easy_install will download the latest version registered on Cheese Shop
|
|
|
|
|
( http://pypi.python.org ), unpack and install it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Using setup.py
|
|
|
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After unpacking the Mitter package, you'll find a ``setup.py`` file.
|
|
|
|
|
To install, call ``python setup.py install`` and it will install
|
|
|
|
|
Mitter in ``/usr/local/bin``. To install in a different directory, use
|
|
|
|
|
the ``--prefix`` parameter. ``python setup.py help`` will show other
|
|
|
|
|
options you can use.
