Installation and usage of the Scyther tool

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.

  1. 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 /
```
  1. 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:

Running Scyther

Start Scyther by executing the file

scyther-gui.py

in the main directory of the extracted archive.

  • Mac OS X:

    Right-click the file 'scyther-gui.py' and select "Open with" and then "Python Launcher".
