Linux Prerequisites

Before you install Programy on Ubuntu you need to check that you have the pre-requisites installed, named Python 3.x and Pip. Installation instructions for Ubuntu can be found in Ubuntu Prerequisites

Python3 and Pip3

Program-Y is written exclusively in Python 3.x so you are going to need this installed. It also uses a large number of external Python 3rd party libraries so you are also going to need Python 3 version of pip

On Ubuntu ( other Linux's exist ), the following should get you sorted

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python3
sudo apt-get install python3-pip

Now its successfully installed we should just do a final check to make sure its on the command line and the right versions are available

$ python3 --version 
Python 3.7.0.
$ pip3 --version
pip 19.0.1 from /usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pip (python 3.7)

You now have all the requirements to install Programy

Installing Git

You now have all the requirements to install Programy

If you are going to only install programy via pip, then you are finished and don't need to worry about Git. If you are looking at downloading programy as a Git clone or looking to develop on the main code base then you will need to have Git installed.
