How to run pygubu application?

[nbro]

In the README.md file of this repository, there's no specification on how to run the pygubu application/GUI designer. There's just an example of an application created, I suppose, with pygubu, and I was able to run it.

On my mac OS X, I cannot simply type pygubu on the terminal and the GUI designer appears (like you did in the youtube video). I had to do a painful workaround.

If I install pygybu using pip3 with the following command:

pip3 install pygubu

In my Python folder site-packages, I have my pygubu folder (and I can therefore import pygubu from the IDLE), but that folder is simply this: https://github.com/alejandroautalan/pygubu/tree/master/pygubu
Which is actually a subfolder of this repository (and not all the repository).

I couldn't run the pygubu designer from that folder... there was not script to run it, or something similar.

I decided to clone this whole repository, and I finally discover that under /bin/ there's a script, which allows us to run pygubu.

This was very painful for me, and I hope you provide a complete guide on how to run the pygubu designer for various platforms, and not just for Ubuntu, where I suppose you can simply type magically pygubu from the terminal.

Edit:

I had noticed that I can now run pygubu from the terminal by simply typing pygubu-designer instead of simply pygubu...

Hi dossan,
Sorry for all the confusion. Since version 0.9.5 the startup script for the designer is called _pygubu-designer_ for unix like systems. The reason is here.
I will update the README making more clear howto run the designer (I need to update the video too).

Regards.

It still does not work. I installed it successfully through pip3 install pygubu and I can import it using python 3, but I can't open the designer in any way. Typing pygubu-designer from terminal I only get command not found. No script in /bin folder or anywhere else inside /usr.

Regards,

Hello Luiz thanks for trying pygubu.

Installing pygubu with pip as a normal user, the pygubu-designer script is located at

$HOME/.local/bin

So you can add that path to your environment variables. Or open a console, and run pygubu-designer using this command:

~/.local/bin/pygubu-designer

Let me know if this helps you.
