Installation
------------
If you're installing Kivy for the first time, do::
2011-04-12 08:28:01 +00:00
$ sudo easy_install kivy
2011-02-01 10:24:24 +00:00
If you already installed kivy before, you can upgrade it with::
2011-04-12 08:28:01 +00:00
$ sudo easy_install --upgrade kivy
2011-02-01 10:24:24 +00:00
2011-02-03 15:02:23 +00:00
.. _linux-run-app:
Start from Command Line
-----------------------
2011-04-12 08:28:01 +00:00
We are shipping some examples ready-to-run. However, theses examples are packaged inside the package. That's mean, you must known first where easy_install have installed your current kivy package, and go to the example directory::
2011-02-01 10:24:24 +00:00
2011-04-12 08:28:01 +00:00
$ python -c "import pkg_resources; print pkg_resources.resource_filename('kivy', '../share/kivy-examples')"
2011-02-01 10:24:24 +00:00
2011-04-12 08:28:01 +00:00
And you should have a path similar to::
/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/Kivy-1.0.4_beta-py2.6-linux-x86_64.egg/share/kivy-examples/
Then you can go to the example directory, and run it::
# launch touchtracer
$ cd <path to kivy-examples>
$ cd demo/touchtracer
$ python main.py
# launch pictures
$ cd <path to kivy-examples>
$ cd demo/pictures
$ python main.py
If you don't know about Unix and symbolic link, you can create a link directly in your home directory, for an easier access. For example:
2012-01-12 10:28:22 +00:00
#. Get the example path from the command line above
#. Paste in your console::
2011-04-12 08:28:01 +00:00
2012-01-12 10:28:22 +00:00
$ ln -s <path to kivy-examples> ~/
2011-04-12 08:28:01 +00:00
2012-01-12 10:28:22 +00:00
#. Then, you can access to kivy-examples directly in your Home directory::
2011-04-12 08:28:01 +00:00
2012-01-12 10:28:22 +00:00
$ cd ~/kivy-examples
