How to build dupeGuru from source

Prerequisites installation

Then, you have to make sure that your system has to "non-pip-installable" prerequisites installed:

All systems: Python 3.2+ and distribute
Mac OS X: The last XCode to have the 10.6 SDK included.
Windows: Visual Studio 2008, PyQt 4.7+, cx_Freeze and Advanced Installer (you only need the last two if you want to create an installer)

On Ubuntu, the apt-get command to install all pre-requisites is:

$ apt-get install python3-dev python3-pyqt4 pyqt4-dev-tools python3-setuptools

Virtualenv setup

First, you need pip and virtualenv in your system Python install:

$ sudo easy_install pip
$ sudo pip install virtualenv

Then, in dupeGuru's source folder, create a virtual environment and activate it:

$ virtualenv --system-site-packages env
$ source env/bin/activate

Then, you can install pip requirements in your virtualenv:

$ pip install -r requirements-[osx|win].txt

([osx|win] depends, of course, on your platform. On other platforms, just use requirements.txt).

Alternative: pyvenv

If you're on Python 3.3+, you can use the built-in pyvenv instead of virtualenv. pyvenv is pretty much the same thing as virtualenv, except that it doesn't install distribute and pip, so it has to be installed manually:

$ pyvenv --system-site-packages env
$ source env/bin/activate
$ curl -O http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py
$ python distribute_setup.py
$ easy_install pip

Actual building and running

With your virtualenv activated, you can build and run dupeGuru with these commands:

$ python configure.py
$ python build.py
$ python run.py

You can also package dupeGuru into an installable package with:

$ python package.py
