Hello

I have it ... but now, I would like to know "in the simple way" what for and how I can use it ....

[First remark : I can suppose that developers are french-speaking, so why do we must post comments in English  ?]

First : I have connected the Tux, and the dongle. And so on ? What must I do now ?

I suppose that I must install the tux daemon in order to use the graphical interface (it's not very easy to understand it : I think but I'm not sure ..). I run mandriva 2007.0, Kernel 2.17. I have downloaded that I suppose to be the good version, run make, it install usb-something .. Now I run "tuxdaemon", and "command not found"..

Second : where are tux applications and what are the functions ? How to control them ? Must-I install python API, and how ?

Sorry for theses questions ....

For the sake of lesser mortals like us, who can't understand French

First : I have connected the Tux, and the dongle. And so on ? What must I do now ?

Just look at this doc: http://www.tuxisalive.com/getting-started
There seems to be some pretty good documentation of how to get started with Tux.

Downloads section contains the daemon, tts-software and GUI which you will need:

Get back if you have more queries.

So

This is what I can see when installing Tux Daemon :

=> Ok,, so make ...

[parents@localhost trunk]$ make

[parents@localhost trunk]$ tuxdaemon
bash: tuxdaemon: command not found
[parents@localhost trunk]$    

If I do this as root : same result

[parents@localhost ~]$ su
Mot de passe:
[root@localhost parents]# tuxdaemon
bash: tuxdaemon: command not found
[root@localhost parents]#    

Note :

[root@localhost parents]# uname -r

What must I do to run tuxdaemon ???

Thanks

Salut Yves,

The installation is split in five steps:

Salut Yves,

The installation is split in five steps:

1) compile the tux daemon, copy it to /opt/tuxdroid/bin. You can run it directly by ./tuxdaemon -v in a terminal

2) download and untar  the tts daemon (downloaded in developper corner section of the website) and copy it in the same directory than above. You can run it by ./tuxttsdaemon

3) download the TTS voices, untar the file and run ./WIZARD command. It installs lot of files in opt/Acapella directory if I remember well.

4) install the python API files in /opt/tuxdroid/api/python directory

5) install the gtdi programs in /opt/tuxdroid/apps/gtdi.

plug the dongle and you should view some messages from the daemons.

Launch the gtdi (python gtdi.py) and enjoy it...

Hi Yves,

To launch an exectable which is not in your path, you need to specify the full path. So if you're in the daemon directory, after doing make, you can launch it by './tuxdaemon' and not 'tuxdaemon' which is not in your path.
If it works, you can copy tuxdaemon to your path. As root, do 'cp tuxdaemon /usr/local/bin'
Next you have to install the python api in order to use the applications.

We're going to release a complete package which will do all this for you but want to finish some improvements before doing so. And the install documentation needs to be updated too.
