Papywizard Installation Guide

This installation guide refers to the stable release of Papywizard.

Installation

Papywizard is entirely written in python, and uses some third-party modules:

• ​PyGTK -- GTK+ for Python (for branch 1.x)
• ​PyQt -- Qt for Python (for branch 2.x)
• ​pySerial -- serial bus access for python
• ​pybluez -- bluetooth python wrapper (linux and Windows)
• ​lightblue -- bluetooth python wrapper (MacOS)
• ​Visual Python -- 3D Python project (optional, not used anymore in versions >= 2.1.7)

Linux

As most distributions come with python and all needed modules (just install them through your application manager), there is no need to pre-build a package. Just install it with distutils tools:

$ python setup.py install --prefix=/usr/local

Note: a debian package should come soon.

Nokia

You first need to read this ​APP wiki page, and setup your Nokia device so the python 2.5 runtime is correclty installed.

For Papywizard v2, you need to install PyQt for maemo, instead of PyGTK. See ​here.

As Nokia is based on Linux, it is possible to install Papywizard through distutils tools (see previous section). However, it is easier to install the debian package. For that, just click on the package file name you want to install (from the download page).

Note: the gbiloba.org catalogue has been removed.

Windows

No major problem, here. Just click on the installer, and follow the instructions.

MacOS

Need some explanations.

Configuration

No external configuration is needed; all parameters can be modified from the Papywizard Configuration dialog.
