Installation on MacOSX
|
||
|
|
======================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.. note::
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This method has only been tested on Mac OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard 64-bit.
|
||
|
|
For versions prior to 10.6 or 10.6 32-bit, you have to install the
|
||
|
|
components yourself. We suggest using
|
||
|
|
`homebrew <http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/>`_ to do that.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For Mac OS X 10.6 and later, we provide a Kivy.app with all dependencies
|
||
|
|
bundled. Download it from our google code project page. It comes as a .dmg
|
||
|
|
file that contains:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Kivy.app
|
||
|
|
* Readme.txt
|
||
|
|
* An Examples folder
|
||
|
|
* A script to install a `kivy` command for shell usage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To install Kivy, you must do:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Download the latest version from http://kivy.org/#downloads
|
||
|
|
2. Double-click to open it
|
||
|
|
3. Drag the Kivy.app into your Applications folder
|
||
|
|
4. Make sure to read the Readme.txt
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Start any Kivy's application
|
||
|
|
----------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can run any Kivy application by simply dragging the application's main file
|
||
|
|
onto the Kivy.app icon. Just try with any python file in the examples folder.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Start from commandline
|
||
|
|
----------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you want to use Kivy from the command line, double-click the Make Symlinks script
|
||
|
|
after you dragged the Kivy.app into the Applications folder. To test if it worked:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. open Terminal.app and run kivy. You will get a Python prompt.
|
||
|
|
2. In there, enter import kivy. Running any PyMT application from the command line
|
||
|
|
is now simply a matter of executing a command like the following:
|
||
|
|
3. kivy yourapplication.py
|
||
|
|
