The current version of !ScrumPy can be installed on Debian (>=9), Ubuntu (>=1804) For installation on other Unix-like systems see [[ScrumPy/InstallConf|these notes]].

Not currently supported

=== Python ===
!ScrumPy requires  Python 3, Python 2  is not supported.

== Installation ==
Download the current [[http://mudsharkstatic.brookes.ac.uk/Download/ScrumPy.tgz|tarball]], unpack it and cd into the newly created [[ScrumPy|!ScrumPy]] diectory. Then, as root, execute the install.py script. This will install a number of prerequisite packages which may take some time depending on what is already installed. A number of extension C libraries will also be compiled that may take a little time and generate a fair ammount of verbiage on the terminal.

!ScrumPy will now be installed in

{{{ /usr/local/lib/python3/dist-packages/ScrumPy}}}, and  the "binary"  (actually a soft link into the main package) installed in

{{{/usr/local/bin/ScrumPy3}}}

!ScrumPy can now be started by simply typing !ScrumPy3 at the command line. A few diagnostic messages will appear in the terminal, but these are for information only .

Further documentation continues [[ScrumPy/Doc/ModEnv#RunSpy|here]].

== SBML support. ==
!ScrumPy uses libsbml to to read/write sbml format file. If libsbml is present in your distributions repository it will be installed automatically, otherwise libsbml will need to be installed manually from source (with the python option).
