Pwytter: Twitter for Windows, Mac, Linux http://www.pwytter.com The free muti-platform Twitter client written in Python Mon, 10 Aug 2009 10:18:26 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.1 en Installing Pwytter 0.8 on Linux Fedora 11 http://www.pwytter.com/2009/08/10/installing-pwytter-on-fedora-11/ http://www.pwytter.com/2009/08/10/installing-pwytter-on-fedora-11/#comments Mon, 10 Aug 2009 10:17:18 +0000 Pierre-Jean Coudert http://www.pwytter.com/2009/08/10/installing-pwytter-on-fedora-11/ Thanks to Jean-Etienne, here are the detailed instructions:

I found Pwytter via an article from Linux.com  and found it very interesting to try. I’m trying to install source of version 0.8 on a Linux Fedora 11. Here is how to install it on Fedora 11 from the command line:

  1. Download Pwytter, unzip it, enter directory pwytter-0.8
  2. Install ImageTK: as root, type “yum install python-imaging-tk”
  3. Install simplejson: as root, type “yum install python-simplejson”
  4. (optional) launch: python setup.py build
  5. launch: python setup.py install
  6. Complete the installation by copying some files (4 lines below, type as root too):

cp pwCache.py /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pwytter-0.8-py2.6.egg
cp pwCache.pyc /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pwytter-0.8-py2.6.egg
cp -r media/ /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pwytter-0.8-py2.6.egg
cp -r theme/ /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pwytter-0.8-py2.6.egg

Now you can launch pwytter from any user!
Hope this helps.
