Requested dependencies for building and downloading

• autoconf
• gettext
• intltool >= 0.41.0
• git

Requested dependencies for execution

• python
• python-gtk
• ipython > 0.13
• python-numpy
• python-matplotlib
• python-dbus
• python-xdg

Optional dependencies to run demo/demo.oscopy

• geda-gaf and more specifically gschem and gnetlist
• gnucap

Tested on stable (squeeze) and unstable (sid). Will not install on stable due to default release ipython 0.10.

• Install git, autotools and related packages:

# apt-get git autoconf gettext intltool python-gtk2-dev

• Install oscopy dependencies:

# apt-get install ipython python-matplotlib 

• Optional: to execute demo.oscopy script install geda and gnucap

# apt-get install geda gnucap 

Tested on Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal Quetzal

• Install git, autotools and related packages:

$ sudo apt-get install git autoconf gettext intltool python-gtk2-dev 

• Install oscopy dependencies:

$ sudo apt-get install ipython python-matplotlib 

• Optional: to execute demo.oscopy script install geda and gnucap

$ sudo apt-get install geda gnucap 

Tested on Fedora 18

• Install git, autotools and related packages (maybe needed to run the command twice ?)

# yum install git autoconf gettext intltool pygtk2-devel gcc

• Install oscopy dependencies:

# yum install ipython dbus-python 

• Optional: to execute demo.oscopy script install geda and gnucap

# yum install geda-gaf gnucap 

Note that in Fedora 18 default geda-gaf and gnucap appear to be very old version and might not run demo/demo.oscopy correctly.

The source can be downloaded from repo.or.cz: http://repo.or.cz/w/oscopy.git

To download it:

$ git clone git://repo.or.cz/oscopy.git

Optional: to use experimental branch

$ cd oscopy
$ git pull git://repo.or.cz/oscopy.git experimental

Once the source downloaded, assuming in oscopy/

$ cd oscopy
$ ./autogen.sh && ./configure && make install

Note that you might need to update your PYTHONPATH, for example if you install it in ${HOME}/geda, to launch oscopy you might need the following lines:

$ export PYTHONPATH=${HOME}/geda/lib/python2.X/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH
$ export PATH=$PATH:${HOME}/geda/bin

To use gschem integration, you will need to use the same –prefix that you used to install gschem.
