OK, I started from a position where I already had Python 2.6 and wxPython installed, so I installed Python 2.5 first:
sudo apt-get install python2.5 <enter> Once that was done I verified it by just running it in a terminal: python2.5 <enter> Then I downloaded the Linux tarball from http://dabodev.com/download#binary and saved it into a folder called 'installers' under my home folder. I extracted it the n00b way via the GUI ;) into a subdirectory called 'dabo'. I ran a terminal, and changed into the folder where it was extracted and ran the setup: cd /home/users/alanb/dabo <enter> sudo python2.5 setup.py install <enter> It displayed a message to the effect that it was going to connect to the internet and look for a newer version, then dumped a load of status info to the terminal as it installed. Once that had finished I changed into the 'demo' directory and ran the DaboDemo.py demo: cd /demo <enter> python2.5 DaboDemo.py <enter> A dialog appeared noting that it was the first time I had run Dabo, and did I want to check online for new versions. I clicked 'OK' and it died with a permissions error, so I re-ran with sudo and it said it was updated. Ran it again and it did the same thing. The third time, the demo came up fine so I assume it's all tickety-boo. That was pretty much it. -- Alan Bourke alanpbourke (at) fastmail (dot) fm _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
