KOMBILO MANUAL
The following instructions cover the installation of Kombilo under Ubuntu Linux (current version, i.e. 11.10). If you
use another flavor of Linux and are somewhat familiar with it, you will easily adapt them.
Quick start: installation on a Ubuntu system
With the following commands you can install Kombilo on a Ubuntu system. Lines starting with a # are comments -
no need to type them. These instructions will create a subdirectory kombilo inside the current directory.
There are three main steps to the installation: installing Python and the Python packages, downloading the Kombilo
files and extracting them, and compiling the extension for the fast pattern search. See below for more details on the
different steps.
# Install the packages that Kombilo depends on (and wget for the next step):
sudo apt-get install python-tk python-imaging python-imaging-tk python-pmw
sudo apt-get install python-configobj g++ libsqlite3-dev
sudo apt-get install python-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-system-dev
# download the Kombilo archive
wget https://bitbucket.org/ugoertz/kombilo/downloads/kombilo-0.7.4.tar.gz
# unpack the archive
tar xfz kombilo-0.7.4.tar.gz kombilo
# compile the C++ extension
cd kombilo/lk
python setup.py build_ext
cp libkombilo.py build/lib.linux-*/_libkombilo.so ../src/
# start the program
cd ../src/
./kombilo.py
Now continue with the Getting started section of the tutorial. After installing, you start the program by executing the
kombilo.py script in the kombilo/src directory.
