How to build dupeGuru from source

The very, very, very easy way

If you're on Linux or Mac, there's a bootstrap script that will make building very, very easy. There might be some things that you need to install manually on your system, but the bootstrap script will tell you when what you need to install. You can run the bootstrap with:

./bootstrap.sh

and follow instructions from the script. You can then ignore the rest of the build documentation.

Prerequisites installation

Prerequisites are installed through pip. However, some of them are not "pip installable" and have to be installed manually.

• All systems: Python 3.3+ and setuptools
• Mac OS X: The last XCode to have the 10.6 SDK included.
• Windows: Visual Studio 2010, PyQt 5.0+, cx_Freeze and Advanced Installer (you only need the last two if you want to create an installer)

On Ubuntu (13.10+), the apt-get command to install all pre-requisites is:

$ apt-get install python3-dev python3-pyqt5 pyqt5-dev-tools

On Arch, it's:

$ pacman -S python-pyqt5

Virtualenv setup

Use the built-in pyvenv to setup a virtual environment, and then install pip and run the requirements in it:

$ pyvenv --system-site-packages env
$ source env/bin/activate
$ wget https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/raw/bootstrap/ez_setup.py -O - | python
$ 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
