hello, I realise this is more an Ubuntu question than a Dabo question, but I would like to try Dabo, but the install process is tricky for me. So i am hoping someone will bear with me and do a bit of hand holding.
>From the web site http://wiki.dabodev.com/InstallationOnLinux ( I have slightly modifed the instructions as I think they should be set up for Ubuntu) # Do not use the root account for this, as it may not work in all cases cd $HOME mkdir src cd src svn checkout http://svn.dabodev.com/dabo/trunk dabo # I assume at this stage it will be asked to install SVN # Change "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages" ## as I am on Ubuntu 10.10 cd /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages # You need root privilege to create the following link in site-packages sudo ln -s $HOME/src/dabo/dabo dabo I am assuming I can ignore the next few line about svn up and installing specific versions I assumed that this installed dabo "somewhere" and the src folder was now redundant, but... # To check that dabo works correctly, run the DaboDemo.py cd $HOME/src/dabo/demo python DaboDemo.py suggests that the src folder (which I took to stand for source) still has files that are needed, or is it just that the DabDemo.py file was downloaded along with the source and the source files in the src folder are in fact now redundant, and DabDemo could be moved to anywhere. Alternatively, from lower down the same web page, does this work with Ubuntu 10.10 (it says tested on 7.04) set -ex sudo apt-get --yes install python-reportlab python-wxgtk2.8 subversion python-mysqldb svn checkout http://svn.dabodev.com/dabo/trunk dabo cd dabo sudo python setup.py install Which assume does the same as the earlier step by step instructions (I already have python-wxgtk2.8 and python -mysqldb installed, so I assume I could just miss them off the list) The final question which is on how I update Dabo, I assume this is really an SVN question, so again bear with me. I'm afraid all of this is still very alien to me, and I am still scared of breaking something, unless instructionsare very detailed and very specific to my distro and version. Any help greatly appreciated.
