Installation¶

fgmk is packed as a regular Python project, in the Python Package Indexer.

As such, installation is fairly easy, and easier if you already have Python installed.

Recommended Install and run¶

If you are already familiar with Python, just use the commands below in your terminal to install and run fgmk.

pip3 install fgmk
fgmk

Windows Installation¶

Installation on Windows with pip

In Windows, install Python 3 from www.python.org, and then open cmd.exe and type (press enter after):

python -m pip install fgmk

To run, you can type the following in cmd.exe or the run... prompt:

python -m fgmk

If your python/scripts folder is in your Windows PATH, you can omit the preceding python -m command, and just type pip install fgmk and then fgmk.

Upgrading¶

The easier way to upgrade your version of fgmk when a new one is released, is to type:

pip install --upgrade fgmk

If for some reason it doesn’t work, you can also try

pip uninstall fgmk
pip install --no-cache-dir fgmk

Unix install and run¶

First you need pip3 for Python3.

in Ubuntu or Debian, open the terminal and use sudo apt install python3-pip.
After you will be able to run pip3 install fgmk. You can just type fgmk at command line to launch the editor.
In Ubuntu, fgmk will be also added to the Unity Applications entry.

Upgrading¶

The easier way to upgrade your version of fgmk when a new one is released, is to type:

Clone this repository, meet the dependencies and type python3 -m fgmk

git clone https://github.com/ericoporto/fgmk.git
cd fgmk
python3 -m fgmk

Dependencies¶

This tool is written using Python 3. Needs pillow, numpy and PyQt5 - you can apt install python3-pyqt5 and similar (in Ubuntu) or use pip.

If you satisfy all dependencies you don’t need to install, and can run from source.

*Experimental compatibility to python2* (2.7 and on) is added to versions above 0.3.0 . Note that Python 2.7 pip doesn’t provide an easy way to install PyQt5 so you will have to install it on your own - if you are in Ubuntu, use sudo apt install python-pyqt5
