Anki required packages
« on: October 31, 2013, 01:47:06 AM »
Hi, this is my first post, please bear in mind English is not my first language  ;D

I love Tiny Core. Being a linux newbie, I don´t mind having to learn a lot or search dozens of sites to be able to accomplish any given thing. The only reason that prevents my using TC in both my computers (desktop/laptop) as a primary OS is that I haven´t been able to run anki. This is an extract from anki´s readme:

To install the prerequisites on Ubuntu/Debian, please use the following
command:

sudo apt-get install python-qt4 mplayer lame libportaudio2 python-sqlalchemy

If you're on another distribution the packages may be named differently, so
please consult your package manager.

Your Python version will need to be 2.6 or 2.7 (not 3+), and both Qt and PyQt
need to be 4.7 or later.

Installation & Running
------------------------

Anki does not need installing, and can be run from the directory it is
extracted to. If you extracted it to ~/anki-2.0 for example, you can run Anki
by simply typing ~/anki-2.0/runanki in a terminal.



Are there exact equivalents in TC to those packages in bold? Thanks a lot!

You can use the apps gui search function to find which extensions are available.

You can also look at: http://www.tinycorelinux.net/5.x/x86/tcz/ assuming you are using the x86 version of tc-5.x.

and http://www.tinycorelinux.net/4.x/x86/tcz/ for tc-4.x extensions

Only lame is in the 5.x repo, but more extensions are available in the 4.x repo, including anki-129, and can be moved to the 4.x repo once they are confirmed working in tc-5.x

I will not recommend to use that version of anki, it is no longer compatible with the new formats of decks.

Thanks so much for the answers. I tried some versions of the packages in the repos some weeks ago, I´ll try again and be more specific next time if something goes wrong :-[
