Installing ScrumPy

Pre-requisite:

These instructions assume that you have successfully installed WSL or a virtual machine, as described in the pre-arrival instructions. If for some reason this hasn't been possible, please consult one of the instructors.

Downloading the software:

Open a shell in your linux environment

Create a directory into which we will download the ScrumPy source-code:

   1 $ mkdir ScrumPyInstall

and make this directory your current working directory:

   1 $ cd ScrumPyInstall

Now we can download the source-code archive:

   1 ScrumPyInstall$ wget https://gitlab.com/MarkPoolman/scrumpy/-/archive/master/scrumpy-master.tar.gz

and then unpack it:

   1 ScrumPyInstall$ tar zxf scrumpy-master.tar.gz

Check that it's worked:

   1 ScrumPyInstall$ ls
   2 scrumpy-master.tar.gz
   3 mark@Ryzen7-1:~/ScrumPyInstall$ tar zxf scrumpy-master.tar.gz
   4 mark@Ryzen7-1:~/ScrumPyInstall$ ls
   5 scrumpy-master  scrumpy-master.tar.gz
   6 mark@Ryzen7-1:~/ScrumPyInstall$ ls scrumpy-master
   7 BuildLibs.py  debian11.py  install_conf.py  ScrumPy      testing      Update.py
   8 BuildRel.py   debian12.py  install.py       ScrumPy.e4p  Ubuntu20.py
   9 CHANGELOG     Fedora38.py  LICENSE          synfromin    Ubuntu22.py

Installing the Software

Having downloaded and unpacked the archive, we can now install the software. Do do this, we must assume root (aka admin) privileges:

   1 mark@Ryzen7-1:~/ScrumPyInstall$ sudo bash
   2 mark@Ryzen7-1:~/ScrumPyInstall#

Note the change of prompt from $ to # to remind you of your elevated privileges. All that remains is to cd into the source code archive, and run the installer:

   1 mark@Ryzen7-1:~/ScrumPyInstall# cd scrumpy-master
   2 mark@Ryzen7-1:~/ScrumPyInstall/scrumpy-master# python3 ./install.py

This will generate a lot of output, but once it ends, you should drop root privileges, cd out of the archive directory, and then run ScrumPy:

   1 mark@Ryzen7-1:~/ScrumPyInstall# CTRL+D
   2 mark@Ryzen7-1:~/ScrumPyInstall$ cd
   3 mark@Ryzen7-1:~/$ ScrumPy3

This should bring up a window similar to the one shown below:

Note:

If you are already familiar with git:

   1 mark@Ryzen7-1:~/$git clone https://gitlab.com/MarkPoolman/scrumpy.git

And run the installation script.
