-------------------------------------------------- Polito - An editor for stratigraphic column charts -------------------------------------------------- http://polito.sourceforge.net/ 1. Installing ------------- 1.1. Installing on GNU/Linux ---------------------------- If you already have a previous version installed, you must first it remove it (see the section "Uninstalling on GNU/Linux"). Next, you need to install Polito's dependencies. On a Debian GNU/Linux or Ubuntu system this can be done by running (as root): # apt-get install python2.5 python-cairo python-yaml python-gtk2 On other distributions follow their specific instructions to install: - Python 2.5 or 2.6 (http://python.org) - GTK+ 2.16 or higher (http://www.gtk.org) and its python bindings (http://www.pygtk.org) - Cairo 1.8.8 or higher (http://cairographics.org/) and its python bindings (http://cairographics.org/pycairo/) - PyYAML 3.09 or higher (http://pyyaml.org) Finally, download the Polito source distribution archive and type (in the extracted Polito folder): # python setup.py install If everything went smoothly you now have one fresh Polito installed and you can just type: $ polito and enjoy ! 1.2. Installing on MS Windows ----------------------------- For Windows you don't actually need to install Polito, just download and run the .exe file, all dependencies are self contained. This was only tested on Windows XP but might work on more recent versions. 3. Uninstalling --------------- 3.1. Uninstalling on GNU/Linux ------------------------------ Unfortunatelly, there is no automatic uninstall procedure (yet). But don't panic, it just comes to delete all files and folders starting with 'polito' in the site-packages folder (usually /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/ for python 2.5 on a GNU/Linux system), the data files folder (/usr/share/polito) and the executable (/usr/bin/polito). 3.2. Uninstalling on MS Windows ------------------------------- Not much needs to be done, just delete the .exe file. 4. Copyright information ------------------------ Polito is Copyright (c) 2008, 2009, 2010 by Alexandru Tudor <alex.tudor@gmail.com>. It is distributed under the terms of the GNU GPL (GNU General Public License). See COPYING for more information. This software is provided "as is" without any warranty of any kind, either expressed or implied. 5. Documentation ---------------- Well... there isn't any... but cheer up ! You'll have the pleasure of discovering how it works on your own. 6. Reporting bugs ----------------- See the Polito home page: http://polito.sourceforge.net/ 7. Credits ---------- A graceful reverence to Cosmin Stremtan <cosmin.stremtan@gmail.com> in his quality of spritual father of Polito and also its first user.
