How to install CrunchyFrog using pre-built binaries

This page describes how to install CrunchyFrog on various platforms.

Ubuntu / Debian

To install CrunchyFrog on Ubuntu follow the instructions on this PPA page to add the CrunchyFrog repository to your package manager.

It's recommended to install both crunchyfrog and crunchyfrog-gnome. The latter installs additional packages for a better GNOME integration like storing passwords in the keyring.

Without being tested, the packages should be installable on Debian too.

If you want to help testing or if you're interested in the latest features there's a second PPA with daily builds (unstable).

Arch Linux

CrunchyFrog is in AUR: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?do_Details&ID=16988

Install it on your system e.g, by using yaourt:

yaourt -Ss crunchyfrog

Fedora

See this bug report.

Gentoo

I've seen some ebuilds flying around. Maybe it's a good idea to search for one of them... ;-)

Slackware

Have a look at slacky.eu.

Windows

Currently there's no binary release available for Windows. InstallingOnWindows has some instructions on how to get this application running on Windows.

Mac OS X

Sorry, I don't have access to a Mac OS X box. Any feedback is appreciated...

On ubuntu you can install the DB backends for:

  • MSSQL: sudo apt-get install python-pymssql
  • PostgresQL: sudo apt-get install python-psycopg2
  • MYSQL: sudo apt-get install python-MySQLdb

For cx_Oracle:

Download the Oracle instantclient (basiclite, devel, sqlplus, and jdbc)

Install the oracle instantclients

sudo alien -i oracle-instantclient*.rpm

Set ORACLE_HOME

export ORACLE_HOME=/usr/lib/oracle/_your_version_of_oracle_

Put Oracle libraries in your Linker Path

echo ${ORACLE_HOME}/lib >> /etc/ld.so.conf.d/oracle; ldconfig;

Simplify Include PATH

ln -s $(echo $ORACLE_HOME|sed 's/usr\/lib\//usr\/include\//') ${ORACLE_HOME}/include

Install the Python setup files and libaio1 (needed by oracle)

sudo apt-get install python-dev python-setuptools libaio1

Install cx_Oracle

sudo -E easy_install cx_Oracle

YMMV

Import GPG key command is wrong (inverted options and wrong key) it should be

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys C7F166D8

@idhorat: Thanks! All required information to install it from the Package Archive is available on the PPA site.

albrecht, thanks for the response and work on this. However trying to get the Key Still fails, also trying to build from source seems to be problematic (I got a version of crunchyfrog in chinese)
