The installation process on Linux includes the installation of:

  1. Python3
  2. PIP
  3. Jasy

Installing Python3

To install Python 3 use your package manager on that system. On Debian based systems like Ubuntu you typically use apt-get for the installation.

$ apt-get install python3

Installing PIP

$ apt-get install python3-pip

Note : Ubuntu <= 12.04 doesn't have a python3-pip package in its "universe" repos. One can be found here

Alternative method for other distributions

Execute the following commands to install Distribute and PIP.

$ wget -qO- http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py | sudo python3
$ wget -qO- https://raw.github.com/pypa/pip/master/contrib/get-pip.py | sudo python3

Python 3 (currently 3.3.x) is installed in parallel to Python2 and is typically made available on the command line as python3.

Installing Jasy

You can install the current stable version of Jasy using pip . PIP is preferred over alternatives like easy_install as it supports uninstalls and upgrades etc.

$ pip-3.3 install jasy

Try the following command on your console/terminal after installation is complete:

$ jasy

This should print out the help screen.

Optional Packages

$ pip-3.3 install misaka

Installing PIL for sprite sheet generation

$ pip-3.3 install git+git://github.com/sloonz/pil-py3k.git
