New Revision: 24446
URL: http://svn.gna.org/viewcvs/relax?rev=24446&view=rev
Log:
Redesigned the dependency information on the
http://www.nmr-relax.com/download.html webpage.
The dependencies are now listed in a proper table rather than a HTML list,
and these have all been
shifted into the dependency section. This is rather than having one section
per operating system as
the dependency lists were now almost all identical anyway.

-
- <p>Minimally both <a href="http://python.org";>Python</a> and <a
href="http://numpy.scipy.org/";>NumPy</a> need to be installed on the system
for relax to run. A few other Python packages are optional and, although
certain features may be missing, relax will operate without these.
Additional Python packages may be required on specific operating systems.</p>
-
- <p>Note that only the official Python distribution from <a
href="http://python.org";>python.org</a> is supported. If you use the
Enthought Python Distribution (EPD) or other non-official distributions you
may encounter problems with the relax C modules, the graphical user
interface, or other issues. These alternative distributions are to be used
at your own risk and any bugs encountered will not be considered as relax
bugs.</p>
-
- <h4>wxPython</h4>
-
- <p>The relax graphical user interface (GUI) is implemented using <a
href="http://www.wxpython.org/";>wxPython</a>. This package is essential if
the GUI is to be used. As wxPython currently does not support Python 3, you
will need to use Python 2 to access the GUI.</p>
-
- <h4>SciPy</h4>
-
- <p>Numerical integration is required for the frame order theory. This
is currently not implemented within relax so the QUADPACK numerical
integration provided by <a href="http://www.scipy.org/";>SciPy</a> is used.
Without this package being installed, the frame order analysis will not be
accessible.</p>

if the GUI is to be used. As wxPython currently does not support Python 3,
you will need to use Python 2 to access the GUI.</p>
+
+ <p>When using a 64-bit Mac OS X system, 64-bit compatible wxPython
must be used, i.e. a version using the Cocoa API for implementing the GUI.
Currently, this is only available for Python 2.7. One version can be
downloaded <a

+
+ <h4>Pyreadline</h4>
+
+ <p>For using relax's prompt UI, completion of the user function
name using the tab key is a very useful feature. On Linux and Mac OS X
systems this will occur automatically. However to enable this on MS Windows,
the <a href="https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyreadline";>pyreadline</a> package
is required.</p>
