Can someone help me with installation? #45

Open frank572 opened 6 years ago

frank572 commented 6 years ago

Beginner Python programmer, don't have the skills/knowledge to follow the install instructions. Any help much appreciated. Specifically:

Installing Requires: gir1.2-webkit-3.0, libwebkitgtk-3.0-0, gir1.2-gtk-3.0, python3-gi (PyGObject for Python 3) Questions: Where do I find these? How do I install them in my system (e.g. with pip? other method?)

Download or clone this repository then run in project directory: sudo make install

Questions: How do I "download this repository" from github? What is meant by "in project directory"? How do I get to the project directory to run sudo make install?

Thanks again for any advice.

Requires: gir1.2-webkit-3.0, libwebkitgtk-3.0-0, gir1.2-gtk-3.0, python3-gi (PyGObject for Python 3) Those are native dependencies, you have to install those with your system package manager ( APT, DNF etc. depending on your system )

How do I "download this repository" from github? You can "download" ( it's called cloning in the git world ) a repository with git clone <url-to-repo> I'd strongly recommend you to read up on git ( maybe with the Udacity class ), it's pretty essential to know it if you want to contribute to FOSS

What is meant by "in project directory"? The project directory is the directory you cloned the repository to
