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:
|
2011-02-01 10:24:24 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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

Start any Kivy 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.

|
|
|
If you want to use Kivy from the command line, double-click the ``Make Symlinks`` script
|
2011-02-01 10:24:24 +00:00
|
|
|
after you dragged the Kivy.app into the Applications folder. To test if it worked:
|
|
|
|
|
|
2011-02-01 20:02:01 +00:00
|
|
|
#. Open Terminal.app and run ``kivy``. You should get a Python prompt.
|
|
|
|
|
#. In there, enter import kivy. If it just goes to the next line without errors, it worked.
|
|
|
|
|
#. Running any Kivy application from the command line is now simply a matter
|
|
|
|
|
of executing a command like the following: ``kivy yourapplication.py``
