PyDPainter.exe
is a self-contained Windows executable that launches PyDPainter -- no installer needed. You can just drag it to your desktop and launch it from there. Anti-virus software on Windows may complain, but that's only because we haven't paid the yearly fee to sign the program.
Linux users on many distros can use flatpak
to install PyDPainter.
To use this on Mac OS X you need Python.
On the Mac it is advised to install a separate version of Python from your system version using Brew. Brew is a package manager that keeps packages separate from your System Packages and Application.
To install Python, open Terminal.
brew update && brew upgrade
brew install python
brew install git
brew install python-tk
cd ~
mkdir PythonApps
cd PythonApps
git clone https://github.com/mriale/PyDPainter/
cd PyDPainter
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
python3 PyDPainter.py
PyDPainter is written in Python so it should run on any platform that supports Python 3 and the modules Pygame and NumPy. After installing Python 3, use the installation instructions below to install Pygame and NumPy. Once that is done, you should be able to unzip the PyDPainter source code and double-click on the PyDPainter.py
file to launch PyDPainter.
