How to install pybuddy

Introduction

Follow these steps to get pybuddy up and running:

Install dependencies

First, be sure to have at least python v2.3:

$ python
Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Oct  5 2008, 19:24:49) 
[GCC 4.3.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>

Next, install the python USB module. On debian and ubuntu systems the package you should be looking for is python-usb:

$ apt-get install python-usb

Download source code and edit configuration

There is no current release, so you have to download the source code from the subversion repository:

svn checkout http://pybuddy.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ pybuddy

Edit the pybuddy.cfg config file, its options are documented in it.

Launch and test

To launch the daemon:

$ sudo src/pybuddy-daemon.py pybuddy.cfg
