This little page describes in FAQ-fashion where to obtain the files required to install icqscm and icqscmgui. It also helps you in deciding which file(s) to download.

Where are the files?

All file releases are made available via the Sourceforge Project Website. Make sure you always download the LATEST VERSION.

What file should I download?

Basically there are three options.
In the list below I will use x.y as a placeholder for the latest version, eg '1.1'.
I will use project as a placeholder for the project, either 'icqscm' (command line) or 'icqscmgui' (graphical editor).

1. If you are a Windows user and want the standalone GUI editor without having to install Python, wxPython, and icqscm then download icqscmgui-x.y.win32.allinone.zip.
   Unpack the zip archive into a folder and doubleclick icqscmgui.exe.
   
   
2. If you are a Windows user who has Python (and for the gui: wxPython) installed, just download project-x.y.zip or the more convenient installer: project-x.y.win32.exe.
   If you use the installer executable then you can easily remove the installed project anytime you wish to.
   In case you have downloaded the .zip file, the same rules as in 3. apply to you regarding installation (check the README):
   python setup.py install
Note: Before installing the GUI you MUST install the command line version!
   
   
   
3. Users on other platforms (eg Linux) must install Python, wxPython, then download either project-x.y.tar.gz (recommended) or project-x.y.zip and follow the instructions in the README file.
   All decent Linux distributions come with Python preinstalled. RPMs for wxPython are - very often - also provided.
   Installation of icqscm as well as of icqscmlib basically involves the following command:
   python setup.py install # (as root)
   Note: Before installing the GUI you MUST install the command line version!
   

More detailled instructions can be found in the README file project-x.y.README
