Installation
Way #1
Get the newest version of pumila at
http://metanohi.name/projects/pumila/ or at
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pumila
Extract pumila from the downloaded file, cd into it and run this in a
terminal:
# python3 setup.py install
Examples are available in the examples directory.
Way #2
Just run this:
# pip-3.1 install pumila
Note that this will not make any examples available.
Dependencies
Python 3.1+
For DEB-based distros (Trisquel, Debian, etc.): run apt-get install python3
For RPM-based distros: run yum install python3
For other distros: do something similar or get it at
http://python.org/download/
PyGame
Under normal circumstances, you would do something like this:
For DEB-based distros: run apt-get install python-pygame
For RPM-based distros: run yum install pygame
For other distros: do something similar or get it at
http://pygame.org/download.shtml
However, the PyGame 1.9.1 release doesn’t work perfectly with Python 3, which
means you’ll have to compile PyGame from svn yourself, see
http://pygame.org/wiki/Compilation
Cython
It’s best to get the newest version from http://cython.org/ — pumila works
with v0.15, but earlier versions haven’t been tested very much.
