O
26The quick way\r
27^^^^^^^^^^^^^\r
28\r
8e004f8d 29You will need Python and pip (2.7.x or 3.x).\r
3108149e 30\r
31.. code:: bash\r
32\r
fd9cd791 33 sudo pip install rainbowstream\r
8e004f8d 34 # Python 3 users: sudo pip3 install rainbowstream\r

O
37The recommended way\r
38^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^\r
39\r
40Use `virtualenv`_\r
fd9cd791
O
41\r
42.. code:: bash\r
43\r
b84845b9 44 virtualenv venv\r
45e6bb0d
O
45 # Python 3 users : use -p to specify your Python 3 localtion as below\r
46 # virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3 venv\r
47 source venv/bin/activate\r
3108149e 48 pip install rainbowstream\r
49\r

O
50Troubleshooting\r
51^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^\r
52\r
fd87ddac 53If you use Linux, you might need to install some packages if you haven't already.\r
c30d954c
O
54For debian-based distros, these can be installed with\r
55\r
56.. code:: bash\r
57\r
41c009e2 58 sudo apt-get install python-dev libjpeg libjpeg-dev libfreetype6 libfreetype6-dev zlib1g-dev\r

60Besides, Mac OSX Maverick with Xcode 5.1 has a well-known `clang unknown argument`_ problem with\r
80fa0f3a 61the ``Pillow`` package installation - a dependency of this app.\r
49c9d9b4 62If you are in this case, I recommend taking a look at `Issue #10`_ and let me know if this workaround doesn't work for you.\r
cfe34c93
O
63\r
64.. code:: bash\r
65\r
66 export ARCHFLAGS=-Wno-error=unused-command-line-argument-hard-error-in-future\r
cfe34c93 67\r
49c9d9b4 68If installation in *the quick way* doesn't work:\r
69\r
b89ece54 70- ``sudo pip uninstall rainbowstream``\r
49c9d9b4 71- use the *virtualenv way* above\r
72- `create an issue`_ and provide:\r
cfe34c93 73\r
49c9d9b4 74 + Your OS\r
75 + Your Python version\r

95\r

98You also can change the config key ``IMAGE_ON_TERM`` to ``True`` inside the app\r
99to enable above feature,\r
100change ``IMAGE_SHIFT`` to set image's margin (relative to your terminal's width)\r
99037620
O
101or ``IMAGE_MAX_HEIGHT`` to control max height of every image.\r
102(see `config management`_ section).\r
