Installation, Dependencies and Compatibility
============================================
.. contents::
:local:
Dependencies
^^^^^^^^^^^^
most of functionality
______________________
+ six https://pypi.python.org/pypi/six/
+ pyglet https://bitbucket.org/pyglet/pyglet
particles support
_________________
+ numpy www.numpy.org
audio and video support by AVbin
________________________________
+ AVbin http://avbin.github.io/AVbin/Home/Home.html
audio support by SDL
____________________
+ in Windows, pygame http://www.pygame.org
+ in unix-like OSes libraries sdl 1.2 and sdl-mixer 1.2; in debian/ubuntu their packages are libsdl1.2 and libsdl-mixer1.2
+ in Mac, theres no confirmed info. Should be similar to unix.
What explicit dependencies are declared in the setup.py ?
six and pyglet
Compatibility
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Compatibility notes at the time of writing, April 2015
+ python : cocos needs python 2.6, 2.7 or 3.3+
The cocos codebase has direct support for 2.x and 3.x, so no need to run 2to3
+ pyglet : pyglet 1.2 or better
Installing
^^^^^^^^^^
Have a modern setuptools or pip installed.
While::
easy_install cocos2d
or::
pip install cocos2d
should work, you will miss the docs and code samples. Its is therefore recommended to
+ install six and pyglet
+ download cocos2d-0.6.4.zip from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/cocos2d/
+ decompress to a convenient location, the top dir will be cocos2d-0.6.4
+ the html docs will be in cocos2d-0.6.4/doc/html
+ useful code samples will be in cocos2d-0.6.4/test, cocos2d-0.6.4/samples, cocos2d-0.6.4/utest
+ install by::
cd cocos2d-0.6.4
setup.py install
or alternatively by pointing that directory from a .pth or PYTHONPATH
+ All of cocos should be usable now, with the possible exceptions
- cocos particles
- SDL audio backend
- AVBin (pyglet) audio-video backend
If you want to add these, look at the dependencies section.
Using PYTHONPATH or .pth
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
It is safe to point a checkout of cocos from a .pth or PYTHONPATH both
in python 2.x and 3.x; the same checkout can be pointed at the same time from both pythons.
Remember that pyglet does python 3 compatibility by running 2to3 at install time, so while
a pyglet checkout can be pointed from a .pth or PYTHONPATH in python 2.x,
that will not work for python 3. (this is valid for pyglet < 1.3; with pyglet 1.3+
the 2to3 will not be neccesary)
