#36 How to correctly install Oneshot 0.66 on Ubuntu ?

[Che Cortes]

How do I corectly install the new "Ubuntu" version of Oneshot on my "Ubuntu" platform?

[Luis Cortes]

I am trying the "pex" format for distribution which has incredible promise. I still may be missing some configuration settings on this. Once we do get it working though, it is really a great work off software engineering. The app will auto-detect when it needs to be updated, and automatically update itself and it's libraries when needed.

So much for the benifits. Here is the draw back, the wxpython lib does not seem to work correctly with pex format. I have to jimmy rig it for Ubuntu through trial and error. If someone knows a better way, please let me know.

For now, on ubuntu you need to:

STEP 1:
apt-get install python-wxglade

STEP 2:
apt-get install python-pip

STEP 3:
pip uninstall wxpython

The 3rd step is not a misprint, you need to uninstall what you just installed at a system level (for now). I don't know if I am missing a step in the pex format/configuration or that the wxpython format does not play nice with the way pex interacts with pip.

STEP 4:
download oneshot.pex to your machine

STEP 5:
chmod 777 oneshot.pex

STEP 6:
./oneshot.pex

done. Next time you want to upgrade, just repeat steps 4-6.
