Note: Just for now, the Tupi project is only available for Unix systems.

We hope to port it to many other platforms in the future. Meanwhile, the

best way to try it is from any GNU/Linux distro (and FreeBSD or Unix-alike

The compilation process of any software usually requires a set of specific
9
tools previously installed in your system. Those additional components are
10
called "dependencies".
12
In this case, before you start to compile Tupi, you must ensure to get
13
installed the next list of dependencies in your computer:
15
* build-essential: All the C/C++ free compilers, libraries and utilities
16
required to create a binary from any Unix-alike C/C++ source code (gcc,
18
* Qt: The full development toolkit used to create Tupi
19
* ruby: A script language used to do the configuration process previous
21
* libavcodec-dev: A subcomponent of the project ffmpeg, to deal with
23
* libavformat-dev: A subcomponent of the project ffmpeg, to deal with
25
* zlib-dev: A file-compression library
26
* quazip: A very handy API to deal with zip files
28
For Ubuntu users (version 10.10) with some experience using the console,
29
these are the commands they should run to install Tupi dependencies:
31
Open a terminal (from Aplications -> Accesories) and type:
33
% sudo apt-get install build-essential [Press enter]
34
% sudo apt-get install ruby [Press enter]
35
% sudo apt-get install libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev [Press enter]
36
% udo apt-get install libqt4-gui qt4-qmake qt4-dev-tools [Press enter]
37
% sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev [Press enter]
38
% sudo apt-get install libquazip0-dev [Press enter]

## Get the source code and compile it
45
Get the Tupi source code from our Download section
46
(http://www.maefloresta.com/portal/downloads). Then,
49
% tar xvfz tupi-XXX.tar.gz [Press enter]
50
% cd tupi-XXX [Press enter]
51
% ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/tupi [Press enter]
53
% sudo make install [Press enter]
55
Note: Only for advanced users, the configure script provides many options
56
useful to set specific installation paths. Try "./configure --help" to get
57
more information about it.
62
/usr/local/tupi/bin/tupi & [Press enter]
64
Or look for the launcher from Applications -> Graphics -> Tupi
