I have Ubuntu 11.10.
Is there a place where I could follow instructions on how to install PyFA?
The installation instructions on the download site, do not do the trick...

Help please?
Thanks

Just did the following:
Quote:
$ wget http://dl.evefit.org/stable/1.0.6/pyfa-1.0.6-incarna-src.tar.bz2
$ tar xjf pyfa-1.0.6-incarna-src.tar.bz2
$ cd pyfa/
$ ./pyfa.py

And it started. What exactly problems do you have?

Open your eyes. And awaken.

Hello and thank you for your answer.

Most definitely I am missing libraries. But I can't get what is said by the Ubuntu Software Center.
On the other hand I cant' follow the instructions for the packages needed in each of their sites.
I wouldn't know where to begin.

I am not an advanced Linux user.
I don't know what to compile or how to apt-get the names of the packages needed.

I know how to copy commands though.

So I guess what I was looking would be a series of terminal commands that would get the job done.

I tried the "sudo apt-get install Python", which said that I have the latest version already installed. As far as the other pachages are concerned, I tried the names, but couldn't find them.

Anyone can help me on that?

If you're running pyfa itself from command line you're probably getting some errors in the console. Paste it here so I could try and guess what exactly you're missing.

Most probably it's two libraries mentioned on install page though: python-wxgtk2.8 and python-sqlalchemy

$ sudo apt-get install python-wxgtk2.8 python-sqlalchemy

It worked !! It worked !!

Thank you !!

I only got the following error on the terminal...


(python:5705): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "pixmap",

(python:5705): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "pixmap",

(python:5705): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "pixmap",

(python:5705): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "pixmap",


Anything I could do about that?

Also.. If I am not bothering you too much... is there a way I could add a shortcut on the bar or desktop to run PyFA from the GUI?

You're the best !!

Thank you again...

Google told me this:
Quote:
$ sudo aptitude install gtk2-engines-pixbuf


And speaking about launchers - there's a guide on creating a launcher for eve somewhere in this forum. You need somethign similar but instead of writing a sh script you just pass a path to pyfa.py.
Here it is. You don't need steps 1-3,

I didn't have aptitude (so I : sudo apt-get install aptitude)... although I have not idea what aptitude is...
and then I run your command : sudo aptitude install gtk2-engines-pixbuf

all went well.
I didn't get the error I mentioned before and the only obvious thing (at a first glance) that was different in PyFA was the font which was much better and more visible.

What would be correct command be to incorporate into a "launch application" so that I have a GUI launcher of PyFA?

Thanks again.

Aptitude is a front-end to apt-get. If you see a command "aptitude install something" you can actually use "apt-get install instead"

I guess simple path to pyfa.py would work. Depending on where you have it extracted (run "pwd" in console where pyfa.py is located) it might look like this:
Quote:
/home/user/Downloads/pyfa/pyfa.py
The launcher should properly detect that pyfa is a python script.

Open your eyes. And awaken.

You also need "python-mathplotlib" if you want to do graph with PyFa! (to compare ships DPS/range for exemple)
