There is no installing. Basically this is a mishmosh of source code that will run by invoking: python pesterchum.py You will need these libraries: PyQt >= 4.6 (implies Qt 4.6!) pygame The setup files are all broken. If you are building on Mac, Archaemic has been kind enough to give us a head start in the setup-py2app.py and py2app.sh files. Check out the MACBUILD file for his comments. If you are building on Windows, the setup.py file has some commented-out lines that should give you a clue as to what you need to do. Talk to me if you reeeeally want to build on Windows. On Linux, you need to have the PyQt4 and pygame libraries installed: Debian: apt-get install python-qt4 python-pgame Arch: pacman -S pyqt4 python-pygame then run ./pesterchum (basically a shell script that runs python pesterchum.py) The point of all this is that the only person besides myself that I expect to create builds are the awesome people that volunteer to help me build on a Mac.
