Installation and usage of the Scyther tool
|
|
==========================================
|
|
|
|
Download
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
Downloads of binary archives of Scyther for all main platforms can be
|
|
found at http://users.ox.ac.uk/~coml0529/scyther/index.html
|
|
|
|
Requirements
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
To be able to use all of Scyther's features, the following three
|
|
dependencies are needed. If you only require the back-end tool (used
|
|
from the command line) then you need only the first.
|
|
|
|
1. ### The GraphViz library ###
|
|
|
|
This library is used by the Scyther tool to draw graphs. It can be
|
|
freely downloaded from:
|
|
|
|
http://www.graphviz.org/
|
|
|
|
Download the latest stable release and install it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. ### Python ###
|
|
|
|
Stable releases of the Python interpreter are available from:
|
|
|
|
http://www.python.org/download/
|
|
|
|
Scyther does not support Python 3. You are therefore recommended to
|
|
choose the latest production release of Python 2, e.g., Python 2.7.
|
|
|
|
* **Mac OS X**
|
|
|
|
If the package yields an error when you try to install it,
|
|
please use the following, in the directory where you downloaded
|
|
it:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ sudo installer -pkg graphviz-2.34.0.pkg -target /
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. ### wxPython libraries ###
|
|
|
|
The GUI user interface uses the wxPython libraries.
|
|
|
|
http://www.wxpython.org/download.php
|
|
|
|
There are many different wxPython packages. You should choose a 32-bit
|
|
package that matches your Python version (e.g., 2.7). It is
|
|
recommended to select the unicode version from the stable releases.
|
|
|
|
As of writing (May 2013) the following links lead to the appropriate
|
|
wxPython packages for Python 2.7:
|
|
|
|
* **Windows**
|
|
|
|
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/wxpython/wxPython2.8-win32-unicode-2.8.12.1-py27.exe
|
|
|
|
* **Mac OS X**
|
|
|
|
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/wxpython/wxPython2.8-osx-unicode-2.8.12.1-universal-py2.7.dmg
|
|
|
|
Note that this package is in an old format and you will probably
|
|
get a warning "Package is damaged". This can be resolved by:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ sudo installer -pkg /Volume/.../wxPython2.8-osx-unicode-universal-py2.7.pkg/ -target /
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* **Ubuntu/Debian Linux**
