Installation

[Back to top]

For Windows

Linux/Debian based systems

Option 1: Download the zipped executable file

If your download was saved on the ~/Downloads folder

Press Ctrl + Alt + T to open the shell if you are on GNU/Linux based systems and type

$ unzip ~/Downloads/SpaceShooter-0.0.3.Linux.zip -d ~/Desktop
$ cd ~/Desktop
$ ## navigate to the unzipped file and change the file permissions for the executable
~/Desktop $ chmod +x spaceShooter
~/Desktop $ ./spaceShooter

This will unzip the file on your Desktop, you can replace it with the directory of your choice

NOTE : If it gives you an error, you probably don't have unzip installed in your system.

$ sudo apt-get install unzip

That should fix the error.

  • Run the executable named spaceShooter

A Similar process would be followed for OS X

Option 2: Build from source

You need to have pygame installed for this option.

Ubuntu/Debian
$ sudo apt-get install python-pygame
Clone the repo
$ git clone https://github.com/prodicus/spaceShooter.git
$ cd spaceShooter/ 
$ python spaceShooter.py

For MAC OS X

You have to build from source to get it up and running on OS X. Reason? I don't have an OS X system to build the executable! So I would love for a Pull request on that one.

Building from source will do the trick though

$ pip3 install hg+http://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame

Install Pygame specific dependencies

$ brew install sdl sdl_image sdl_ttf portmidi libogg libvorbis
$ brew install sdl_mixer --with-libvorbis
Clone the repo
$ git clone https://github.com/prodicus/spaceShooter.git
$ cd spaceShooter/ 
$ python spaceShooter.py
