On Windows

Install Pip & PyGal

If you do not have python installed, or are not sure, follow these steps to install/check python.

If you do have pip, go here and follw the insturctions to install pip.

If you have pip installed on your machine,

pip install pygal

###Install PyQt

Download the exe, at the bottom of the page, of PyQt, make sure to have the Py2.7 and correct architecture (32- or 64-bit).

###Install Python-ODB

Clone the repository and run

python setup.py install

###Install PiHud

Clone the repository and run

python piHud/__main__.py

On Linux/Mac OS X

If you don't have virtualenv installed yet, try:

$ sudo easy_install virtualenv virtualenvwrapper

If you're using a distro like Fedora or Ubuntu, you should try this instead::

Fedora: $ sudo yum install python-virtualenv!

Ubuntu/Debian: $ sudo apt-get install python-virtualenv

Activating your enivronment

mkvirtualenv pihud

If you do have virtualenv installed, just run:

workon pihud

Then install the Python dependencies from Pypi

pip install -r requirements.txt

In Fedora:

sudo yum install PyQt4

Dealing with PyQt4 Packaging

yum install PyQt4: sudo yum install PyQt4-devel

symlink the PyQt4 and sip libraries into your virtual environment:

ln -s /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/PyQt4 /home/$USER/.virtualenvs/pihud/lib/python2.7/

ln -s /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/sip.so /home/$USER/.virtualenvs/pihud/lib/python2.7/

To run, simply execute the following command:

python piHud/__main__.py
