How to use the different interfaces

Introduction

Mitter is designed to use, if possible, the best interface for your system. This will explain how to enable and select the interface you want.

Details

Mitter uses different interfaces, based on your system. For example, if you have !PyGTK installed, Mitter will try to use it and display a nice window where you can see your friends timeline and update your status; on the other hand, if you don't have the necessary requirements, Mitter will fall back to its console interface (added on 0.2.)

Also, you can force Mitter to use a interface, even if you have the necessary requirements to use another. To select a interface, you must use the -i (or --interface) option.

Running on X11

Systems that have X11 (Linux, OS X) can run Mitter using the default !PyGTK interface. For that you'll need Python, GTK+ and !PyGTK libraries installed.

Ubuntu

On Ubuntu, you need to install the python-gtk2 package. It will also install the necessary dependencies.

OS X

The easiest way to run Mitter on X11 on OS X is use MacPorts and install the py25-gtk package. To do that, install MacPorts and, on a terminal, run:

sudo port install py25-gtk

Windows

On Windows, you need to install the following packages:

Be careful with the versions you have installed. On my experience, installing different versions will results in errors.
