Instalation

For the impatient

Down load the tarball and unpack:

$ tar zxf ScrumPy.tgz

Now cd into the freshly created directory and check the install_conf.py file. Then (as root)

# python install.py

Prerequisites

OS

ScrumPy should install on any "Unix-like" system, possibly after tweaking the configuration files (see below).

We don't have a Windows version, and we are not currently planning one. If anyone is interested in porting ScrumPy to windows please get in touch. As far as I am aware, there are only two places in the source that would require modification, both of which are concerned with loading shared objects.

Python

Python 2.6 or 2.7 are recommended. 2.8 would probably be OK, but has not yet been fully tested, and may produce verbiage concerning Python 3 issues. Python 3 will almost certainly not (at present) work. ScrumPy will (currently) run on 2.5, but this is effectively obsolete and thus not recomended.

Other dependencies

All other dependencies are automatically taken care of by the install script.

Configuration

General

Configuration details are held in the file install_conf.py. The default file is suitable for Debian and Ubuntu platforms (and most likely other Debian derivatives).

The file install_conf_SUSE.py is suitable for OpenSUSE (and likely SUSE as well) distributions. If using these then copy install_conf_SUSE.py to install_conf.py

Tweaking install_conf.py

Note install_conf.py is a Python module and needs to be syntactically correct.

For installation purposes there are only two places that might need editing: The list of packages to be installed and the command needed to install them. Both of these are self explanatory.

=== Python ===

Python 2.6 or 2.7 are recommended. 2.8 would ''probably'' be OK, but has not yet been fully tested, and may produce verbiage concerning Python 3 issues. Python 3 will almost certainly not (at present) work. ScrumPy will (currently) run on 2.5, but this is effectively obsolete and thus not recomended.
