rpCalc Installation

Linux

Extract the source files from the rpcalc tar file, then change to the rpCalc directory in a terminal. For a basic installation, simply execute the following command as root: python install.py

To see all install options, use: python install.py -h

To install rpCalc with a different prefix (the default is /usr/local), use: python install.py -p /prefix/path

Windows

Simply execute the downloaded installation file (rpcalc-x.x.x-install.exe). It will install the program with its libraries and optionally create shortcuts.

If you wish to modify the source code or write your own PyQt programs for Windows, do not use the above procedure. Instead, you need to install Python, Qt, and PyQt. Then, extract the source code and data files from the Linux version (rpcalc tar file) to a directory of your choice and execute the rpcalc.py file.
