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.


Many thanks,

Graham
