8 Hooke is routinely run successfully on Windows and Linux based
9 systems. It is possible to run it happily on Mac OS X (though install
10 can be a bit trickier). Technically, Hooke should run wherever the
11 Python_ programming language is installed.
13 You'll need the following Python modules:
17 * PyYAML_ (for saving and loading playlists)
18 * Matplotlib_ (for generating plots)
19 * wxPython_ (for the GUI)
21 .. _Python: http://www.python.org/
22 .. _Numpy: http://numpy.scipy.org/
23 .. _Scipy: http://www.scipy.org/
24 .. _PyYAML: http://pyyaml.org/
25 .. _Matplotlib: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/
26 .. _wxPython: http://www.wxpython.org/
31 Hooke_ is available as an Subversion_ repository::
33 $ svn checkout http://hooke.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ hooke
35 There is also a `GUI fork`_ (Rolf Schmidt)::
37 $ svn checkout http://hooke.googlecode.com/svn/branches/illysam/ hooke
39 And a `fork`_ versioned in Mercurial_ (W. Trevor King)::
41 $ hg clone http://www.physics.drexel.edu/~wking/code/hg/hgwebdir.cgi/hooke/ hooke
43 There are also periodic bundled releases. See the homepage for each
44 fork for details. For example, get the most recent snapshot of
45 Trevor's fork in zip form with::
47 $ wget -O hooke.zip http://www.physics.drexel.edu/~wking/code/hg/hgwebdir.cgi/hooke/archive/tip.zip

62 $ python setup.py install
64 to install Hooke. Run::
66 $ python setup.py install --help
68 to see a list of installation options you may want to configure.
70 Running Hooke from the source directory
71 =======================================
73 If you like, you can avoid installation by running Hooke directly from
74 it's source directory::
76 $ wget -O hooke.zip http://www.physics.drexel.edu/~wking/code/hg/hgwebdir.cgi/hooke/archive/tip.zip
81 You may need to give the full path for Python on Windows systems, and
82 also check that the current working directory (`.`) is in your
83 `PYTHONPATH`. See :manpage:`python(1)` for details.
