Installing

Traipse 'Grumpy Goblin' uses an advanced version of wxPython for the package manager. If you decide to install Traipse you will have access to an advance package manager with some stunning features. Don't feel like you are being boxed in by installing Traipse 'OpenRPG' becuase the contrary is about to happen. Traipse users can update to older versions, Includin the core OpenRPG (1.7.8 at this writing).

System Requirements:

Make sure you have the proper Python and wx.Python versions installed before you continue

Platform: OS independent (untested on hand held devices)
Python: 2.5.4 or higher
wx.Python: 2.8.9.1 or higher

Mercurial:

Mercurial is now portable and no longer a required dependency. The package comes with the new Traipse.zip and Traipse_Installer.exe

Windows:

The Traipse_Installer.exe file has been deleted because it is causing terrible problems with permissions. Please use the provided Python and wx.Python files to install the dependencies, and then download the Traipse.zip file, unzip that, and then run setup.py

Python 2.6 users:

If your version of Python is 2.6 or higher you will need to download Mercurial first and install Mercurial for your version of Python then use the Traipse.zip file.

Mac OSX:

(Dependencies)

Python 2.4.5: http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.5.4/python-2.5.4-macosx.dmg

wx.Python 2.8.10: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/wxpython/wxPython2.8-osx-unicode-2.8.10.1-universal-py2.5.dmg

Mercurial: Mac OSX users can enter the 'sudo port install mercurial' into their terminal and. Alternatively users may visit http://mercurial.berkwood.com/ and choose the correct version for you OS

(Install)

Download the required dependencies and then download the Traipse.zip from the files tab. Unzip the file then run setup.py

Linux:

(Dependencies)

Ubuntu (.DEB / Debian Linux): Ubuntu users have it really easy as well. Linux users can enter their Synaptic Package manager and find all the necessary dependencies there.

If your current OS does not support a wx.Python version of 2.8.9.1 or higher, please follow these instructions: (cite: www.wxpython.org)

# The packages and the repository meta-data are digitally signed, so you'll need to import the key into your apt's list of trusted keys in order to not get warnings about it.

    curl http://apt.wxwidgets.org/key.asc | sudo apt-key add -

#

Add the following lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list file (or use the "software sources" program under the "system" menu). Replace the "DIST" text with whatever is appropriate for your system. (See the table below for a list of supported distributions and architectures.)

# wxWidgets/wxPython repository at apt.wxwidgets.org
deb http://apt.wxwidgets.org/ DIST-wx main
deb-src http://apt.wxwidgets.org/ DIST-wx main

For example, if your distro is Ubuntu Gutsy, then you would use the following configuration statements:

    # wxWidgets/wxPython repository at apt.wxwidgets.org
    deb http://apt.wxwidgets.org/ gutsy-wx main
    deb-src http://apt.wxwidgets.org/ gutsy-wx main

# Run the this command to update your local copy of the package meta-data.

    sudo apt-get update

#

You can now use your favorite package selection tool to install or upgrade the wxWidgets and wxPython packages. Here's how to do it with apt-get:

    sudo apt-get install python-wxgtk2.8 python-wxtools wx2.8-i18n

The packages libwxgtk2.8-dev and libgtk2.0-dev may need to be installed if a 3rd party application requires wxWidgets when building from source.

    sudo apt-get install python-wxgtk2.8 python-wxtools wx2.8-i18n libwxgtk2.8-dev libgtk2.0-dev

These packages (and their dependencies) will replace earlier versions of wxPython and wxGTK in the same ReleaseSeries that may have been installed previously. There are a few other wx packages as well, but those listed above and their dependencies are the core that are needed for use with wxPython.

OpenSUSE 11.1: OpenSuSE does not come with the required version of wxPython. You can find it here: http://packages.opensuse-community.org/index.jsp?distro=openSUSE_111&searchTerm=wxPython

(Install)

Download the required dependencies and then download the Traipse.zip from the files tab. Unzip the file then run setup.py
