Note

The 64-bit EPD Free distribution for Mac OS X does not include wxPython (because of lack of support from Apple). Please install the fully-featured 32-bit version.

To executable scripts to start the pyAnno GUI will be installed in the scripts path of your Python installation. On Windows, this will usually be at C:\Python27\Scripts\pyanno-ui , and on Mac OS X at /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin/pyanno-ui.

You can also start the pyAnno GUI from a terminal with the command

pyanno-ui

Installing with pip or easy_install

pyAnno is hosted on PyPi, so it can be installed simply with either pip (recommended) or easy_install . Both tools are very easy to install, and are often available out of the box on many Python distributions.

To install pyAnno, simply type on the command line:

pip install pyanno

or

easy_install pyanno

If you do not have administrator permissions in the Python folder, you should pre-pend the commands above with sudo (e.g., sudo pip install pyanno).

The pyAnno GUI can then be started from the terminal by typing

pyanno-ui
