Software for writers
This software is the continuation of Plume Creator from http://sourceforge.net/projects/plume-creator/
The main change is the coding language : python 3.4 / PyQt5 instead of the c++ / Qt5 of the original software.
To avoid confusion with version numbers, this new Plume will start at version 1.5.0 . To point out the sofware is still under development, all releases will be tagged "alpha" until the 2.0 release.
Of course, the projects from the old Plume will be importable.
Help in testing or coding is always welcome !
You must set up the workspace before beginning to develop Plume. Add to your environnmeent variables :
PLUME_DEVELOP_FROM=/path/to/plume/source/code
export PLUME_DEVELOP_FROM=/home/[username]/Devel/workspace_eclipse/plume-creator
Make sure you have pyQt 5.4 (for python3) or more, and it's dev tools (pyrcc5), installed
sudo apt-get install pyqt5-dev-tools
sudo apt-get install python3-pyqt5
sudo apt-get install python3-pyqt5.qtsql
sudo apt-get install python3-pyqt5.qtopengl
Python 3 needs a few modules to launch Plume properly
In a terminal :
sudo easy_install3 pip
sudo pip3 install yapsy
