While I was setting up fpdb tracker I tried to summarize all steps in one
document for linux user. If you like it and you think that it could be useful
you could use it in the wiki as an installation setup for linux and of course you
are free to modifie it in any way.
Here it is:
This howto add further details (like exact package names) to the install description which comes
with the fpdb original files. To install fpdb unter ubuntu linux (8.04)
you need to install the following packages (which can be done via Adept-Manager):
(I use KDE instead of Gnome, therefore I don't know if the names of
the packages are exactly in synaptics.)
This version only covers the use of a MySQL database not a PostgreSQL.
Code:
package name in wiki in Adept-Manager (8.04, kubuntu)
mysql mysql-server (this will install further
packages, e.g. libdbd-mysql-perl,...)
When you install this package you should have a look at the wiki how to setup
MySQL http://fpdb.wiki.****************/Howto+Setup+MySQL
python python
mysql-python python-mysqldb
pygtk python-gtk2
matplotlib python-matplotlib (only necessary for graphs)
numpy python-numpy (only necessary for graphs)
After you succesfully installed all packages, you have to(!) to choose your
preferred seat on PokerStars, otherwise wrong stats will be displayed. To do this check the wiki again:
http://fpdb.wiki.****************/Pre...+Seat+on+Stars
Unfortunately I don't know if wrong stats will be displayed
if you don't configure your preferred seat on other sites.
After setting up your preferred seat, you need to adjust (at least I had to do this) the
path to your HANDHISTORY in the HUD_config.xml.
Therefore search for: 'HH_path=' and enter the path to your handhistory.
This should something like: HH_path="~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/PokerStars/HandHistory/".
To find out the HandHistory path you could also go to your PokerStars software and
go to ->Options->Instant Hand History Options...
For all questions you should check the wiki and the FAQ.
