Installing Python and FreeEMS-Tuner

To install on Windows you will need the following four items :

• python installer
• wxpython installer
• pywin32 installer
• FreeEMS-Tuner

You want the version of each for python 2.6!

Python :

You can get the first one from here :

http://www.python.org/download/releases/

The current release page is here :

http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.6/

And the current download is here :

http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.6/python-2.6.msi

wxpython :

You can get the second one from here :

http://www.wxpython.org/download.php

The general download page is here, but it's quite scary :

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile ... e_id=10559

The current download file is :

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/wxpyth ... 1-py26.exe

pywin32 :

There is no flashy site for this, but the downloads page is here :

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile ... e_id=79063

The current file is called :

pywin32-212.win32-py2.6.exe

FreeEMS-Tuner :

Last but not least, you need the actual software. You can get it from github right now as a zip. Just extract and double click on main.py inside. The URL is :

Installing on vista :

For vista (POS that it is) you need to run the installers as Administrator. Just running as you and clicking "please install this virus" is not enough...

The easy way to do this is to right click the command window option in the start menu and choose run as administrator. Then just type "cd desktop" if thats where your installers are and then just type the installers name and hit enter. This will get the job done.

However, if you want to actually use the admin account :

into an administrator command window type :
then you need to set a password on it (don't know how, but shouldn't be hard)

then you can type the following into a normal command window :

Linux users :

I'm assuming linux users can apt-get the same the first two packages without help, if this is a poor assumption, pm Aaron of myself and we can fix it :-)

Good luck!

If you give it a try, post about it here :

If all goes well, it may look something like this :

It looks like you have to go through the download process a two or three times on github, the first two times I tried it said page does not exist, then I tried a third time and it worked. Just an FYI.

Installing on Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty):

You need to make sure python and wxpython are installed... And grab the Tuner source from http://github.com/srynot4sale/freeems-t ... e/devtrunk (click the download button).

Extract the zip or tar, then run the main.py script

Ok I give up.....where is the actual tuner software?

Everything else installed just fine on my Vista machine BTW.

Just click the Download button

The download button is where I started.
The first time it made me register, now it does nothing at all.

When I registered it said entering a ssl was optional so I didn't.....maybe they meant optional in the sense that you only need to enter one if you what the d*mn think to actually work?

Yeah it's hanging for me - they must be having some issues...

Keep trying - you shouldn't need to sign up.

I think this is one more reason why I should host the git repo / releases myself.

The other day I registered openecu.info and signed up for 150G of server space. You could put it there.

My thought was that it would be nice if it was 1 stop shopping for everything needed….and you know the version that is tested is the version that gets downloaded by people.

Just a thought….I haven’t had time to put anything on the server yet, but it’s sitting there paid for.

Thank you for the offer!

I do already have a VPS that is underutilized, so I might host a git repo and downloads there - you are more than welcome to mirror them however.
