Installation

Ship-Shape-File-Navigator doesn’t require installation but requires a Python 2.7 interpreter with Tkinter.

If you have those in your system just get Ship, extract it to some place and run the shipshpfn/gui.py file,

from the Ship folder:

python shipshpfn/gui.py

or another path:

python [path_to_Ship]/shipshpfn/gui.py

Windows users

If you don’t have a python interpreter installed in your system, you can install the official Python interpreter (2.7 version) getting it from:

official Python web: https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-2711/

or direct download from here: 32 bit | 64 bit

Linux users

You should have a Python 2.7 interpreter already installed in your system but some distros may not include the python-tk package. In that case you can install it from the repositories:

Debian/Ubuntu/Mint:

[sudo] apt-get install python-tk

RPM based (Fedora...):

yum install tkinter

GIT

Another way you could get and use Ship is directly from the repository, executing it with Python.

Cloning the repository:

git clone https://bitbucket.org/shipshp/shipshpfn.git

Executing from the repo folder:

python shipshpfn/gui.py

or another path:

python [path_to_repo]/shipshpfn/gui.py

In this way you may also have access to the latest development state of the application, just changing to the development branch:

git checkout development

Python distutils/setup tools
