/hydrus/ - Hydrus Network

Or is there a distro that just "works" with hydrus?

trying on ubuntu now, but nothing happens when I try to run "client" or "server"

Just get the source archive and run it with python.

cd into the main directory and do

./client.pyw

or

python2 client.py

wc@WC-Inspiron:~/Desktop/hydrus-229$ ./client.pyw

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "./client.pyw", line 17, in <module>

from include import HydrusConstants as HC

File "/home/wc/Desktop/hydrus-229/include/HydrusConstants.py", line 40, in <module>

import yaml

ImportError: No module named yaml

OP the easiest way is to get the executable.tar.gz and not the source.

This command will extract the tarball with all the file permissions intact.

tar xvf Hydrus.Network.229.-.Linux.-.Executable.tar.gz

Then open the directory.

cd 'hydrus network'

Then run the client.

./client

Why the fuck are you using linux if you can't even use your brain? yaml is clearly a python module that hydrus depends on, and you don't have it installed.

To install modules for python2 you do

sudo pip2 install <module name>

Right back at you. Running pip as root and installing random modules into your system entirely untracked, creating potential conflicts with your package manager and other packages that depend on a specific version of that module. Genius! Let's run everything as sudo.

@OP

Figure out all of Hydrus' dependencies and create a package for your OS of choice and install it. Alternatively check if someone else has done it for you already. Alternatively create a Python virtualenv (using –user) and install all the dependencies for Hydrus and run it like that.

I tried installing yaml with

sudo apt-get install python3-yaml

but it still keeps saying there's no module named yaml

Wish the linux install instructions were a bit more than "Just extract it!"

Please try:

pip install pyyaml
