Installing
kokopelli has been tested on Mac OS X (10.6+) and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
It uses the following libraries and packages:
Package | Comments |
---|---|
Python 2.7 | The main language of kokopelli
|
wxPython 2.9 | UI toolkit |
PyOpenGL | Rendering tools |
NumPy | Fast array manipulation |
CMake | Cross-platform build file generation |
libpng | Image I/O |
With the dependancies installed, running make
in the top-level directory will compile the C library.
With the C library compiled, ./kokopelli
will run the application.
Alternatively, make install
will install a local copy. kokopelli
and the koko
folder will be copied into /usr/local/bin
, and libfab.dylib
/libfab.so
will be copied to /usr/local/lib
.
Most of the packages are available from your friendly neighborhood package manager.
sudo apt-get install python python-dev python-pip gcc g++ libpng12-dev make bash cmake
The required Python libraries are available through pip.
sudo pip install PyOpenGL PyOpenGL_accelerate numpy
Lastly, a newer version of wxPython is required than is available from the Ubuntu package manager. The install_wxpython2.9.sh
script in the util
folder will automatically download, patch, compile, and install it.
If you want to try out kokopelli without setting up a development environment, then download the app.
Otherwise, read on.
A C compiler is required to build the geometry library. XCode or the Command-line Tools for XCode both come with a full set of development tools (though if you install XCode, you may have to set up the command-line tools separately).
Python may already be on your system: run python --version
to confirm that it is 2.9.
NumPy and PyOpenGL can both be installed with pip
:
sudo pip install PyOpenGL PyOpenGL_accelerate numpy
(if pip
is not found, install it with sudo easy_install pip
)
libpng should already be installed on your system.
CMake can be downloaded from their website or installed through Homebrew.
wxPython can be downloaded from their website. The 2.9-cocoa version is required.
