Install_Linux_Prereqs

Linux Prerequisites

Before you install Programy on Ubuntu you need to check that you have the pre-requisites installed, named Python 3.x and Pip. Installation instructions for Ubuntu can be found in Ubuntu Prerequisites

Python3 and Pip3

Program-Y is written exclusively in Python 3.x so you are going to need this installed. It also uses a large number of external Python 3rd party libraries so you are also going to need Python 3 version of pip

On Ubuntu ( other Linux's exist ), the following should get you sorted

First make sure apt is up to date

keith@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get update
[sudo] password for keith:

Hit:2 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic InRelease
Hit:3 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-updates InRelease
Hit:4 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-backports InRelease

Hit 'y' and let the installer finish

If you are to you use Python Virtual Environments, then we need to install that, otherwise skip to Pip3 section

keith@ubuntu:~/mybots$ sudo apt-get install python3-venv

Again hit 'Y' and let the installer complete

Now it's successfully installed we should just do a final check to make sure its on the command line and the right versions are available

keith@ubuntu:~$ python3 --version
Python 3.6.7
keith@ubuntu:~$ pip3 --version
pip 9.0.1 from /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages (python 3.6)
keith@ubuntu:~$ 

You now have all the requirements to install Programy

Git

If you are going to only install programy via pip, then you are finished and don't need to worry about Git. If you are looking at downloading programy as a Git clone or looking to develop on the main code base then you will need to have Git installed.

keith@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install git
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree

The following additional packages will be installed:
  git-man liberror-perl
Suggested packages:

0 upgraded, 3 newly installed, 0 to remove and 391 not upgraded.
Need to get 4,733 kB of archives.
After this operation, 33.9 MB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] 

As per the usual, hit 'Y' and let the installer complete, you now have git installed and ready to go
