Installation

Generally, the installation procedure is basically the same for all platforms. You can install pixelart directly using pip, which should come with modern Python versions. You need Python 3 in order to run this script.

Windows

  • Install Python 3. Be sure to install Tcl and Tk, if this appears in the installation, and to add Python to your PATH. (there should be a checkbox)
  • Open cmd. This can be done with the Start menu in modern Windows versions, or with the Run... menu.
  • Install with pip by executing the command pip install pixelart.
  • To use the gui, use the command pixelart-gui in the python prompt.

Linux

  • Install Python 3, numpy, and pillow, as well as Tcl and Tk if not yet installed.
  • Use pip to install, e.g. pip install pixelart.
  • To use the gui, use the command pixelart-gui in the python prompt. The command pixelart provides an interface usable in the shell.

OS X

  • Follow same instructions as Linux.
