************
Installation
************
PyCha can be used on any system that supports `Python <http://www.python.org>`_
and `Cairo <http://www.cairographics.org/>`_.
.. index:: windows installation
.. _install-windows:
Windows
=======
Pycha needs PyCairo to works since it uses the Cairo graphics library.
These are the recommended steps for installing PyCairo:
1. Grab the latest `PyCairo Windows installer
<http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/binaries/win32/pycairo/>`_. You need to use
the one that matches your Python version so take the one ending in -py2.4.exe
for Python 2.4 or the one ending in -py2.5.exe for Python 2.5
2. Install it in your Python environment (just follow the installation
program instructions)
3. Put the Cairo dlls inside the pycairo directory inside your site-packages
directory or anywhere in your path. You can find the dlls `here
<http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/downloads.html>`_.
Download the following packages:
1. cairo.zip (you just need libcairo-2.dll)
2. libpng.zip (you just need libpng13.dll)
3. zlib.zip (you just need zlib1.dll)
Pycha is distributed as a Python Egg so it is easy to install. You just need to
type the following command:
``easy_install pycha``
.. index:: linux installation
.. _install-linux:
Linux
=====
There are three ways to install PyCha in Linux:
**Option A** (*good for new users*):
Use your distribution package system.
Ubuntu example:
``sudo apt-get install python-pycha``
Benefits:
- better integration with your distribution
- it can be uninstalled easily
**Option B** (*good for python veterans*):
Use easy_install to get the latest official version. You need to
install the setuptools package to use easy_install.
Ubuntu example:
``apt-get install python-setuptools``
``easy_install pycha``
Fedora example:
``yum install python-setuptools``
``easy_install pycha``
Benefits:
- you always get the latest stable version of PyCha
**Option C** (*good for PyCha developers*):
Get a checkout of the subversion trunk branch:
``svn co http://www.lorenzogil.com/svn/pycha/trunk pycha``
Benefits:
- this is the bleeding edge version of PyCha
