Installation

Download a single file

The easiest way to get tmpNote is to download one of these prebuilt executable binary files.

tmpNote for Windows (Windows 10 64-bit)
tmpNote for Linux (Ubuntu 17.04 64-bit)

These files were created using pyinstaller, using this command:

pyinstaller --onefile --windowed --icon=tmpNoteIcon.ico tmpNote.py

Use the source code

You can also run tmpNote from the source code directly. This requires installing some prerequisites, cloning the source code repository, installing tmpNote requirements using pip, and running python at a command line.

The following instructions are for Ubuntu Linux, and were tested on gnome-ubuntu 17.04 64-bit.

Prerequisites

First, you must verify that the following prerequisites are installed.

Python 2.7
PyGTK sudo apt install python-gtk2
pip sudo apt install python-pip

tmpNote uses wxPython, which has this long list of prerequisites that must be installed. Later in these steps you will use pip to install wxPython itself. Here is the command that will install all wxPython prerequisites:

sudo apt install dpkg-dev \
  build-essential \
  python2.7-dev \
  libjpeg-dev \
  libtiff-dev \
  libsdl1.2-dev \
  libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev \
  libnotify-dev \
  freeglut3 \
  freeglut3-dev \
  libsm-dev \
  libgtk2.0-dev \
  libwebkitgtk-dev

Clone tmpNote

clone https://github.com/nothingworksright/tmpNote.git
cd tmpNote

Install requirements (wxPython)

pip install -r requirements.txt

Run tmpNote

Once the prerequisites have been installed, the source has been cloned, and the requirements have been installed, run the application using Python 2.7.

python tmpNote.py
