Supported Operating Systems

At present, only Windows XP-7 and Linux 2.6+ are supported by Revisaid. However, if you have a python interpreter and wxPython installed, in theory it should run fine. Proper support for Mac OS is on the way, after the author manages to find a test machine.

Dependencies

You need the wxPython2.8 library to run Revisaid, and a Python2.7+ interpreter. OS-specific instructions are found below.

Installation (Linux)

You will need the wxPython2.8 library to run Revisaid. To install this package on Ubuntu, enter the following command: sudo apt-get install python-wxgtk2.8.

1. Download the zip file from the green button on the front page.
2. Extract the files to a new folder. If you're using Ubuntu, then just double-click on the zip file and select extract.
3. Enter the extracted folder, and read readme.html and gpl.html for release notes and the software license.
4. Open a command terminal, and change your working directory to the extracted folder. (i.e. cd ~/Desktop/revisaid/src)
5. Enter python main.py into the terminal.
6. Congratulations! You should now be running Revisaid.
7. To make the file executable so you can double-click and run, type chmod +x main.py after changing your working directory to /src.

Installation (Windows)

You need a python interpreter to run Revisaid, which can be downloaded from the python website. Select Python2.7.X Installer and follow the installation instructions.

You will also need the wxPython library which is similarly easy to install. Select wxPython2.8-win32-unicode-py27 and follow the installation instructions.(If you've decided to install a 64-bit rather than 32-bit version of Python, please make sure you install the 64-bit wxPython library)

1. Download the zip file from the green button on the front page.
2. Extract the files to a new folder.
3. Enter the folder, and read readme.html and gpl.html for release notes and the software license.
4. Find the file 'main.py' and double-click on it.
5. Congratulations! You should now be running Revisaid.
