Peter,
I got it working on my mac by using virtual box . I downloaded an
ubuntu 14.04 LTS iso file from ubuntu
<http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop> and created a ubuntu virtual box
virtual machine. I followed the instructions for building mnemosyne using
the following link: hacking-mnemosyne
<http://mnemosyne-proj.org/hacking-mnemosyne>. I thought I would go ahead
and post the procedure I used to help anyone else out that may have the
same problem I did.
1. I installed the following packages on the ubuntu virtual box image
using the following command from the terminal:
sudo apt-get install python-cherrypy3 python-apsw python-virtualenv
mnemosyne python-qt4-dev pyqt4-dev-tools qt4-designer python-qt4-sql libqt4-
sql-sqlite python-matplotlib python-qt4-phonon python-sphinx python-webob -y
2. I checked out the mnemosyne-proj project using the following commands
in the terminal:
a. mkdir ~/bz
b. cd ~/bz
c. bzr branch lp:mnemosyne-proj
3. I then built the mnemosyne-pro project using the following commands in
the terminal:
a. cd ~/bz/mnemosyne-pro/mnemosyne
b. sudo make setup
c. sudo make
4. After building the project I could go use the add_card.py python script
to automate inserting cards into the mnemosyne database using the following
commands in the terminal:
a. cd ~/bz/mnemosyne-pro/mnemosyne/mnemosyne/example_scripts/
b. python add_cards.py
The script uses the whatever is current the default mnemosyne database. On
Linux machines, this is usually located at
~/.local/share/mnemosyne/default.db. Once you run the script you will get
no feed back in the terminal about whether your cards were added or not.
You will just have to open mnemosyne to see if there is a card titled,
"front" and a card titled, "back" that was inserted into your database.
You can then use a python "for statement" in front of the fact_data = {"f":
"front", "b": "back"} that is in the add_cards.py script to automate the
process of inserting cards into your mnemosyne database. For example, I
created a file (in the same directory as the add_cards.py script) that
contained a bunch of data. I then used python to open the file, read the
lines in the file, and automatically insert the data into the mnemosyne
database programmatically. You can then sync mnemosyne with other clients,
it works great...
Thanks,
