Installing Pwytter on Fedora 11

[jepoirrier]

Hi,

I found Pwytter via an article from Linux.com [1] and found it very
interesting to try. I'm trying to install source of version 0.8 on a
Linux Fedora 11. Here is how to install it on Fedora 11 from the
command line:

1. Download Pwytter, unzip it, enter directory pwytter-0.8
2. Install ImageTK (see [2]): as root, type "yum install python-
imaging-tk"
3. Install simplejson: as root, type "yum install python-simplejson"
4. (optional) launch: python setup.py build
5. launch: python setup.py install
6. Complete the installation by copying some files (4 lines below,
type as root too) [3]:

cp pwCache.py /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pwytter-0.8-py2.6.egg
cp pwCache.pyc /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pwytter-0.8-py2.6.egg
cp -r media/ /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pwytter-0.8-py2.6.egg
cp -r theme/ /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pwytter-0.8-py2.6.egg

Now you can launch pwytter from any user!

Hope this helps.
