Linux version?

[maplepy]

Since you seem to be using only Python with PyQT5 and PySide2 which are all usable on Linux, would you be interested in making a linux version out of it? or at least able to provide some instructions on how to run it from Linux itself?

I love your editor, fantastic job! If you need help or anything I'd be happy to help!

I don't have any plans to make an official linux version, but you should be able to clone the repo, pip install requirements.txt to a virtual env, and run main.py from there. If that doesn't work let me know, but I've largely moved on from this project and will only be doing critical bug fixes for a while longer.

Thing is, there's no requirements.txt :/

And when I try to run it I get this error

from fbs_runtime.application_context.PySide2 import ApplicationContext
Import "fbs_runtime.application_context.PySide2" could not be resolved

[robertnunn]

I thought I had reqs in the repo, but I guess not. fbs PyQt5 PySide2 I think you're just missing fbs

[maplepy]

Well, got a new error now:

[maplepy]

[robertnunn]

I'm sorry, I don't know why your venv is not letting you add new packages but winreg is only used in a few spots to pull the steam install path so you should be able to take it out with minimal fuss.

[maplepy]

So I could remove the import and anything related to this library if I use linux?

[robertnunn]

Yes

Yeah no it isn't working either

Installed

• pyside2
• fbs
• PyQt5

[robertnunn]

fbs is part of the build process that packages the program for distribution. You might want to take a look here for info on building for linux. The other thing I notice is that you're using python 3.10, where the fbs documentation says that it only works for python 3.6. And the error message is telling you that it didn't find main.py in the right place. The only thing that immediately comes to mind is that (if main.py is in src/main/python) you might be running from a different current directory than the parent of src.
