Run the following as superuser.
USAGE: $su
bash VisualPythonInstaller.sh
For future reference during installations ; currently only Visual Python
Open the file in your favourite editor and check the three ways in which wxPython can be installed:
APT-GET IS ENABLED BY DEFAULT
- Via apt-get, this works on Xenial and Utopic, did not work for me when I was using Trusty
- Building from source will involve either using build_wxpython.py or setup.py like in older versions
You may test and uncomment the version that works for you. Both work for me. Feel free to ask doubts if you wish.
Then:
Polygon, TTFQuery, fonttools are built from source.
EDIT: fonttools can be installed as a wheel file now. So I replaced it with pip.
tk, libgtk and boost-python are some other dependencies.
You can open the VPython IDE by using the following command:
python2.7 /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/VPython-6.11-py2.7-linux-x86_64.egg/vidle/idle.py.
