Install the Ubuntu Accomplishments sytem

This is still very much a work in progress and as such things need refining here. Set up the server component.

Dependencies

You need to install python-gpgme for the daemon to run.

Getting The Code

Run the following to check out the code:

bzr branch lp:ubuntu-accomplishments-system

This package provides the trophy view and the daemon.

Setting Up

First set your PYTHONPATH to the daemon directory of where you checked out the branch:

export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/home/jono/source/trophyinfo/daemon/

Now you need to create your 'accomplishments' (where the accomplishments files live) directory and install some accomplishments there. By default the system looks in accomplishments in your home directory so create an accomplishments directory there:

mkdir ~/accomplishments

Install the Ubuntu Accomplishments files

Now ensure that you have some accomplishments files in your accomplishments directory. Grab these by running:

bzr branch lp:ubuntu-community-accomplishments

When you have grabbed this branch you can install those accomplishments to your accomplishments dir with the included script. For example:

cd ubuntu-community-accomplishments
./install.sh /home/jono/accomplishments

Running The App

To run you first need to run the daemon. Change to the ubuntu-accomplishments-system directory and enter the daemon sub-directory and run the daemon:

cd daemon
./rundaemon.sh

Now open a new terminal and from the ubuntu-accomplishments-system directory run the application:

quickly run

To run ubuntu-community scripts to check for those accomplishments, click *File -> Check Accomplishments*.
