Introduction

If you are installing dodger you will need to install some other libraries to get it working. This page will walk you through those steps.

Operating Systems

Dodger should work on any operating system that supports Python and the required libraries. For now the instructions will only be for Linux but in time I will expand them to be for more operating systems.

PyGObject

>= 2.10 http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/pygobject/

Install the package for your OS if there is one, or follow the installation instructions:

./configure
make
make install

PyGTK

>= 2.10 http://www.pygtk.org/downloads.html

Just like PyGOjbect you'll probably want to use your systems package for this, but you can download from the above link and then install manually like so:

./configure
make
make install

If you do go this route be prepared to wait a while.

PyGtkGlext

>= 1.1.0 http://www.k-3d.org/gtkglext/Main_Page#Downloads http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=54333&package_id=76105

Download and exact. Change into the directory you extracted PyGtkGlext to and then run:

python setup.py install

PyOpenGL

>= 3.0 http://pyopengl.sourceforge.net/

Download and follow the instructions here: http://pyopengl.sourceforge.net/documentation/installation.html

PyYAML

>= 3.0 http://pyyaml.org/wiki/PyYAML

Download and extract. Change into the directory you extracted PyYAML to and then run:

python setup.py install

PyGlet

>= 1.1 http://www.pyglet.org/download.html

Download an installer and install. Or download a source version and then extract. After extracting the source version change into the extract directory and install using:

python setup.py install

Installing Dodger

Now that you have the requirements installed you can download dodger. Extract to a directory. Then change into that directory and install using:

python setup.py install
