Install Python first
You need a standard python installation (version 2.5 or higher) on your system.
In most distributions on Linux, Python is already preinstalled. You can check this easily by typing on linux console:
myServer:~$ python Python 2.5 (r25:51908, Sep 19 2006, 22:45:46) [GCC 3.3.3 (SuSE Linux)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> CTRL-Z [1]+ Stopped python myServer:~$
- Download Python 2.5 for your platform (Windows, Mac, Linux) (You should install Python 2.5, since SQLITE database is integral part of Python 2.5 distributions and you don't need to install it like in Python 2.4.)
Download OpenPavilion
Now you can install OpenPavilion. There are several download areas, where you can get the binaries. Do not look for Windows, Mac or Linux distributions of OpenPavilion: OpenPavilion is a platform independet python server application! Therefore you had to install Python before downloading and unzipping OpenPavilion. The reason for this is, because you and your users will write your own sensors and these sensors depend on the underlying Python language, so you will need the Python installation as soon as you want to alter example scripts. Don't be upset about writing Python code. There is a section packed with examples that will show you how easy it is to create sensors in a few lines of Python scripting. See the sensor scripting pages for more on this.
