You'll need the following Python modules:
And a `fork`_ versioned in Mercurial_ (W. Trevor King)::
- $ hg clone http://www.physics.drexel.edu/~wking/code/hg/hooke/ hooke
+ $ hg clone http://www.physics.drexel.edu/~wking/code/hg/hgwebdir.cgi/hooke/ hooke
There are also periodic bundled releases. See the homepage for each
fork for details. For example, get the most recent snapshot of
If you like, you can avoid installation by running Hooke directly from
it's source directory::
- $ wget -o hooke.zip http://www.physics.drexel.edu/~wking/code/git/git.php?p=hooke.git&dl=zip&h=HEAD
+ $ wget -O hooke.zip http://www.physics.drexel.edu/~wking/code/hg/hgwebdir.cgi/hooke/archive/tip.zip
$ unzip hooke.zip
$ cd hooke
- $ python bin/hooke
+ $ python bin/hk.py
+
+You may need to give the full path for Python on Windows systems, and
+also check that the current working directory (`.`) is in your
+`PYTHONPATH`. See :manpage:`python(1)` for details.
