Installation

PhotonFileEditor is programmed in Python 3.6 and makes use of only one external library:pygame. If you want to test it follow these instructions:

1. Install Python 3 from https://www.python.org/downloads/
   or install Anaconda 3.6 https://www.anaconda.com/download/
2. Check the python version is above 3 by typing in the command line 'python --version'
3. Install the pygame library (https://www.pygame.org/wiki/GettingStarted) by
   • opening a dos prompt/linux terminal
     or if using Anaconda use the windows start menu, type/find 'anaconda' and run the anaconda prompt
   • type 'python -m pip install -U pygame --user' to install the required library
4. Recommended: with numpy installed a number of actions will be a lot faster, like importing and exporting of images and also updating the layer image when navigating. (Anaconda installations already comes with Numpy 1.14.3 installed, however better to be safe than sorry, so...)
   • type 'python -m pip install -U numpy --user'
5. Download this repository as a zip file and extract
6. You have two options to run PhotonFileEditor:
   • from your file explorer find and run PhotonEditor.py
   • from a dos prompt/linux terminal, navigate to the directory where you extracted the zip file and type 'phyton PhotonEditor.py'

Attention:

• PhotonFileEditor will not work with Python 2! Read Issue #3
• If using Anaconda and no window appears try turning debugging of.

In the near future (approaching version 1.0), I will make a windows executables and a linux package available.. How to help with the development
