Installation instructions

Follow these steps to install Gades Siege in a Debian-based GNU/Linux system. Other systems will require similar steps.

Download the source code

Using Git, open a terminal and run this:

git clone https://github.com/DrPantera/gsiege.git

This will create a gsiege folder with the Gades Siege source code.

Download Python-Clips

First, check your version of Python with:

python --version

Depending on the version of Python, the steps will slightly change: see below.

Python 2.6 and earlier

First, download the appropriate package for PyClips from the official website, according to your CPU architecture (amd64 for a 64-bits system, i386 for a 32-bits one). Once the download has completed, you can install it as usual for your distribution. From the terminal, you could run a command like this:

sudo dpkg -i nombre_paquete.deb

Python 2.7 and later

PyClips has not been packaged for newer Python releases, so you will have to install it from the sources. First, install the build dependencies:

sudo apt-get install libclips-dev python-dev build-essential

Next, download the PyClips source code. Unpack the archive, and run these commands from the resulting folder:

cd pyclips
sudo python setup.py install

After this, PyClips will be ready to use in our systems.

Install the other dependencies

Gades Siege requires pycha to draw charts and pygame to draw 2D graphics during games. Both libraries are usually in the default package repositories, so installing them is as simple as running:

sudo apt-get install python-pycha python-pygame

Launch

Gades Siege can be launched from the main script in the base folder of the project:

./gsiege.py
