How to run on Linux (solved)

[victoriafoxgirl]

Disclaimer: I'm a noob. Since the prebuilt .exe doesn't do anything except open a blank commandline (which does appear to block some Midi ports or something, but no gui), I've tried running the script on Linux. First of all, there were three python modules I installed with pip (construct, mido, rtmidi), but now it just returns more obscure errors. Do I need more modules? Am I running the .exe wrong?

$ python3 zoomzt2-gui.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):

okay progress: rtmidi is the wrong package, I needed python3-rtmidi, which I installed via apt, instead of pip. This does not produce errors when starting zoomzt2-gui.py, but instead just does nothing. No gui is shown.

More progress: you need the wx-common apt package. The program just fails silently and does nothing when the package is absent, instead of producing any meaningful error. Had to find that out by painfully scraping through code. Now it shows a gui and appears to connect to the effectpedal.

Im instead battling with an error with wx.. I already intalled form apt and pip but im getting the same error. Any help?
