Finally got rid of CVS and Subversion!

Mercurial Rocks!

From our initial feedback, on some machines the binary installationmay require R-2.2.1 and rpy-0.4.6 to work properly. On others an installation of Sqlite 3 and pysqlite>2.0.5 may also be required.

Start Epigrass from the console and if any dependencies are missing, the traceback should identify it.

Good luck!

If had never been able to install Epigrass successfully before, now is the time to try again! There is a binary installer that lets you install and run Epigrass without having to worry about any dependencies!! The only requirements, if you want Epigrass to generate PDF reports, is to have a working Latex installation.

Enjoy!

Hi 1.4.2 is out and with important new features, and bugfixes. Check out the release notes.

I am preparing new ebuilds and rpms hopefully making them easier to install.

I am also preparing a static binary distribution which will run without having to install any dependencies.

I'll add the missing packages soon.

The prefered method for installing Epigrass is form the tar.gz package using the command:

python setup.py install

the reason for this is that the setup.py will take care of creatng the database table needed for epigrass to run.

The Egg distribution can be a good option if you already have your epigrass database created. The egg distribution does not put the help files under /usr/share/epigrass. This means that you won't be able o open the help from the gui. This can be fixed by moving the PDF manualy to the correct directory.... read more

I have just made available an egg distribution.

to install it just drop the egg anywhere in your python path (e.g. /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages) and you are ready to go!

or if you have easy_install installed on your computer, just type:
$ sudo easy_install epigrass

easy install will download the egg for you and install it

Warning the egg installation will not unpack the demos and user manual, but you can open the egg and manually remove them from there.... read more

I have replaced all the incomplete files of release 1.4.1

If you had problems with the original release just download it again and all should work nicely!

enjoy

release 1.4.1 was missing two important file spread.py and dataObject.py

I have noticed and will post a replacement release today

sorry for the inconvenience!

I added a Windows installer (untested) an gentoo ebuild, ( tested) and an RPM package (untested)

Both the windows installer and th RPM package do not take care of other required software. So read the manual and also install all the requirements.

Please test the RPM and windows installer and report any bugs.

Thanks and enjoy!

I will be making a new release very soon with an updated manual, functional custom (user-defined) models, and an enhanced vaccination engine allowing for multiple vaccination campaigns each with its own coverage and working for custom models

Everyone should upgrade since an important bug in the transportation system was fixed.

also some features were added:
Added possibility of delay in transportation based on the speed of the transport;
