Installing Jokosher on Ubuntu

Edgy and later

Jokosher is now in Edgy's repositories. Therefore the following should work and you're done.

sudo apt-get install jokosher

Xubuntu etc

If you are running Xubuntu or any other variant without the stock gnome installation the above will be enough to startup Jokosher but you need a few more packages to actually use it for anything.

sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-alsa gstreamer0.10-plugins-base gstreamer0.10-plugins-good gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly

Without these installed you will be unable to create a new, or open an existing project.

To run Jokosher on ubuntu server you will also need X windows and a windowmanager ...

Dapper/Breezy

This page describes how to get Jokosher working on Ubuntu Dapper. Please note that as of the date of this writing it is not possible or much more difficult to run Jokosher on Ubuntu Breezy. The required packages are available in the main Dapper repository.

You will need the following packages:

  • python2.4
  • python2.4-gtk2
  • python2.4-glade2
  • python2.4-dbus
  • python2.4-cairo
  • python2.4-xml
  • python-gst0.10
  • gstreamer0.10-gnonlin
  • python-alsaaudio
  • python-setuptools

To install these packages open a terminal and type the following command:

sudo apt-get install python2.4-glade2 python2.4-dbus python2.4-cairo python2.4-xml python-gst0.10 gstreamer0.10-gnonlin python-alsaaudio python-setuptools

If everything installed successfully, you should now be able to run Jokosher.

Other useful packages

These packages aren't required to run Jokosher but are needed to actually install it in its current development state:-

The svn tool is required to get the latest code from its subversion repository (see GettingJokosher)

sudo apt-get install subversion

If you need the development version of gstreamer (which you shouldn't for 0.1), cvs is also required to download this from its cvs repository (see InstallingCvsGstreamer)

sudo apt-get install cvs
