It runs for sure on the following distributions: * Python 2.6 * Jython 2.5 OPTIONAL DEPENDENCIES ********************* For Organdiae to make any sense at all, you should have GraphViz and GNUPlot installed. GraphViz: http://www.graphviz.org GNUPlot: http://www.gnuplot.info Organdiae will run fine without these programs, but will lack the ability to render visualizations and you will have to work solely out of the terminal. Additionally, to view the svgs generated by Organdiae's GraphViz backend, we recommend using, Firefox, as it provides the best SVG support of any major browser. DOCUMENTATION ************* Assuming that you've acquired a complete release of organdiae, its documentation is in a subdirectory of this directory called `./doc'. The homepage for the documentation is index.html. Additionally, you may find said documentation on http://www.organdiae.com/doc . If this is your first time using organdiae, we recommend that you start by clicking on the link "Organdiae in Six Concepts", which explains its core functionality as well as the reasons for which it was created. Then, browse through the tutorials for some ideas on how to use organdiae. INSTALLATION ************ To install, type at the command line: python setup.py build python setup.py install The former builds organdiae, and the latter installs it into your python directory. After this, you can dispense with the present folder unless you want to guard the docs or the source code. The documentation can also be found online at www.organdiae.com . Alternatively, you can use the traditional: make make install make clean # optional This is simply a wrapper for the python build and install mechanism. There is no config file.
