Error launching the application

[feeef]

Thank you for making this great software!

I am trying to run the alpha version on my Debian box using Gnome Shell, but with no success.

I have installed the required libraries, defined my environment variable, following your instructions but there is nothing about compiling and launching the application on Linux so I tried to follow the Windows instructions. I made src/plume/plume.py executable and tried to run it. It didn't launch and I got the following error :

from: can't read /var/mail/PyQt5.Qt from: can't read /var/mail/core.core from: can't read /var/mail/data.database ./plume.py: line 8: syntax error near unexpected token (' ./plume.py: line 8:def launch_gui(core):'

I may have missed something...

Thank you very much for your help!

Hi,

Which Linux do you use? Sorry, you are using Debian. Did not noticed it on my smartphone. Which version of PyQt do you have installed? Debian doesn't have PyQt5.4 in the repository, so you have to build that yourself. And how exactly do you execute Plume? On Debian you have to use "python3 path/to/plume.py"

Perhaps we can pinpoint the problem.

Thanks for your reply!

I am using Debian Testing (Stretch) with python3-pyqt5 v5.6

I have set PLUME_DEVELOP_FROM to point to my plume-creator folder in my .bashrc file.

To start Plume I just do : $ cd src/plume/ $ ./plume.py

Could you do something like $ python3 plume.py? And I'm a bit confused about the /var/mail/PyQt5.Qt etc. Why is everything pointing to /var/mail/?

$ python3 plume.py did the trick thank you! :) I don't get anymore error when launching the app. the /var/mail/ error has gone as well.

I close the issue.
