# JS8Spotter MIT License, Joe Lyman KF7MIX # You should have received a copy of the source and license with the program # Linux Notes ## Note on System Variability Linux systems vary wildly. This README.linux file can't possibly cover every situation; in reality, it barely covers anything. You will need to take the very limited concepts you find here and adapt them to your situation. If you have more questions, reach out to me via the email listed on QRZ.com. ## Which JS8Spotter Distribution Files to Use Linux users may choose to download the full Windows installer package, but it includes many files that are not needed on a Linux system. If you downloaded and unpacked the Windows package, you may wish to remove it and switch to the source version instead. ## Program Requirements To run JS8Spotter on Linux you will need a working Python3 installation, pip3. On a debian/Ubuntu type system, you might install python3 and pip with the command 'sudo apt install python3 python3-pip'. You'll also need a few additional python modules/libraries. The best way to see what you will need to have is to open the js8spotter.py file and look at the imports at the beginning of the file. Another way to determine which modules/ libraries you'll need is to simply run the program and see what it complains about. Open a terminal and navigate to the js8spotter directory, then run the program with a command like 'python3 ./js8spotter.py' If you see an error like: No module named 'tkinter' Try to resolve it by installing the missing item with ONE of these commands: pip3 install tkinter sudo apt install python3-tk If you see an error like: ImportError: cannot import name 'ImageTk' from 'PIL' Try to resolve it by installing the missing item with ONE of these commands: pip3 install pillow sudo apt install python3-pil python3-pil.imagetk After you install one missing item, run the program again, and work through any missing items that come up. Most systems require only an additional library or two, beyond what is installed when you install python3. ## Application Launcher I personally run JS8Spotter from a terminal window every time. You might prefer something a little more GUI-centric. In many modern Linux systems you can create a program launcher by dropping a .desktop file in your ~/Desktop folder. There are other ways to do this, or to add the program to your system menus, etc. An example .desktop file (say, ~/Desktop/JS8Spotter.desktop) is below, with my own static directory variables: [Desktop Entry] Type=Application Name=JS8Spotter Comment=Companion Program for JS8Call Path=/home/jlyman/src/js8spotter/ Exec=/home/jlyman/src/js8spotter/js8spotter.py Icon=/home/jlyman/src/js8spotter/js8spotter.ico ## Python Script Executable If you create a .desktop file, you'll need to set your script up to be executable. On many systems, adding the line '#!/usr/bin/env python3' to the top of the file, then setting it 'chmod a+x', will do the trick. However, you might keep your env binary elsewhere, or prefer not to set things world executable. So, do whatever is right for you in this regard. ## More Help? You perhaps have noticed that I'm taking a minimalist approach to the Linux version of this program. I'm a fan of minimalism, it's one of the reasons I love Linux. There are no plans for repo builds or packages, the above is the plan. If you need more help, email me and I'll see what I can do!
