Running PyBridge

PyBridge has been tested on the GNU/Linux and Microsoft Windows platforms. It may work under other operating systems, but these are untested.

Installing on Debian or Ubuntu

Thanks to David Watson, packages for PyBridge are available for Debian testing and unstable. These packages are also available for Ubuntu (7.10 and newer), in the Universe package repository.

To install the PyBridge client, open a terminal and type:

 sudo aptitude install pybridge

To install the PyBridge server, type:

 sudo aptitude install pybridge-server

A menu entry for PyBridge will be created in Applications > Games.

Installing on Microsoft Windows

The PyBridge client is packaged as a Windows executable, together with all required dependencies.

Installing from source

Before attempting to run PyBridge from source, please check that your system has all the required dependencies installed.

PyBridge can be run directly from source. To do so, open a terminal, change to the directory where you unpacked the source tarball, and type:

 bin/pybridge

You should only install PyBridge if you need it to be available to all users of your system.

To install PyBridge from source, change to the directory where you unpacked the source tarball, then type:

 sudo python setup.py install
