# Install Instructions
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For local development / building stand-alone binaries
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Windows
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You need Python
|
||
|
|
[2.7 32 bit](https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-2718/).
|
||
|
|
Download the `Windows x86 MSI installer`
|
||
|
|
and be sure to add `python` to `PATH` during installation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can run `mangle` using 64 bit Python 2.7,
|
||
|
|
but won't be able to build a binary with `py2exe`,
|
||
|
|
and any performance difference is negligible.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Install virtualenv globally, if you don't already have it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
> pip install virtualenv
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
and install all dependencies in a venv in the mangle directory, e.g.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
...\mangle> virtualenv venv
|
||
|
|
> venv\Scripts\activate
|
||
|
|
(venv) > pip install Pillow
|
||
|
|
(venv) > pip install reportlab
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It can be pretty difficult to install PyQT4 from source,
|
||
|
|
so prebuilt binaries are available at
|
||
|
|
http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pyqt4
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You need
|
||
|
|
`PyQt4-4.11.4-cp27-cp27m-win32.whl`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
which you can install after placing the file
|
||
|
|
in the `mangle` folder via
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
(venv) > pip install PyQt4-4.11.4-cp27-cp27m-win32.whl
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
So your final `pip freeze` can look like:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
(venv) > pip freeze
|
||
|
|
Pillow==6.2.2
|
||
|
|
PyQt4 @ file:///.../mangle/PyQt4-4.11.4-cp27-cp27m-win32.whl
|
||
|
|
reportlab==3.5.59
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can run the GUI via
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
(venv) > python mangle.pyw
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Optionally, you can install all the dependencies globally
|
||
|
|
so you can simply click on the `mangle.pyw` file to run it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Optional
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To actually build a stand-alone `.exe`, install
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
(venv) > pip install py2exe_py2
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
and install
|
||
|
|
[Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler for Python 2.7](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=44266)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A standalone binary can be created in the `dist` folder via
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
(venv) > python setup.py install
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You may get an error which can be solved by looking at
