pyChing requires version 1.51 or greater of Python to be installed on your system, and version 8.0 or greater of Tcl/Tk. (Actually, pyChing hasn't been tested with any earlier versions of Python and Tk, and it may work, so if you're stuck with an earlier version of one or both of these and want to try it out, let me know how you go [use the -d command line switch], but probably the safest thing to do is download suitable versions from the Python and/or Tcl/Tk web sites.)

Python website: www.python.org    Tcl/Tk website: tcl.sourceforge.net

pyChing also requires a color display.

Downloads of pyChing, packaged for different platforms, are available from the pyChing project's sourceforge download page.

Linux/Unix/X11

If you are a Debian or Ubuntu GNU/Linux user, you can install pyChing by typing:

apt-get install pyching

at the command line. Otherwise, the latest version of pyChing is available as a tarred, gzipped file, from pyChing's sourceforge download page.

After you have unpacked the archive, see the INSTALL file for installation information.

Windows(95/98/NT/2000/XP etc.)

The latest version of pyChing is available as a zipped file, from pyChing's sourceforge download page.

After you have unpacked the archive, see the INSTALL file for installation information.

MacOS/OSX

I'm not sure what archive formats are useable on macOS. Versions of Infozip's zip and unzip seem to be available on lots of platforms, so you could get the zipped package. The tarred, gzipped file would be the go on OSX. Both are available from pyChing's sourceforge download page.

If anyone uses pyChing an a mac, I'm interested to hear how it goes.

Please send any detailed bug reports to me.    ;^)

The Sourceforge pyChing project page also has links to the above packages as well as any earlier versions of pyChing, and some other facilities I hope to have set up one day.
