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
44 There are also periodic bundled releases. See the homepage for each
45 fork for details. For example, get the most recent snapshot of
46 Trevor's fork in zip form with::
48 $ wget -O hooke.zip http://www.physics.drexel.edu/~wking/code/hg/hgwebdir.cgi/hooke/archive/tip.zip

54 .. _Subversion: http://subversion.tigris.org/

63 $ python setup.py install
65 to install Hooke. Run::
67 $ python setup.py install --help
69 to see a list of installation options you may want to configure.
71 Running Hooke from the source directory
72 =======================================
74 If you like, you can avoid installation by running Hooke directly from
75 it's source directory::
77 $ wget -O hooke.zip http://www.physics.drexel.edu/~wking/code/hg/hgwebdir.cgi/hooke/archive/tip.zip
82 You may need to give the full path for Python on Windows systems, and
83 also check that the current working directory (`.`) is in your
84 `PYTHONPATH`. See :manpage:`python(1)` for details.
