xibo pyInstaller
below you will find the installation script for xibo, open source digital signage‘s python client. i created the script based on the howto posted to the xibo wiki. this script will automatically download and install everything necessary to run the linux python client on ubuntu 9.04, 9.10, and 10.04 (10.10 and 11.04 are not supported at this time).
the script does the following:
- runs apt-get update**
- installs the required packages from the repos
- downloads and installs the binary packages provided by Alex Harrington from the xibo project
- creates the xibo directory in /opt and downloads/installs the client (1.2) from bzr
how to use the script:
- download the tar file and extract to the location of your choice
- chmod the script to make it executable:
- sudo chmod +x install-xibo-pyclient-v1.sh
- run the script as root or with sudo
once the script finishes, it will open the configuration window created by Matt Holder. if you want to manually configure the client, navigate to /opt/xibo/pyclient/client/python and edit site.cfg.default to match your server settings and rename the file to site.cfg.
if you discover any bugs or have any suggestion, please contact me at the link above. fwiw, i am not a programmer 
so… yeah
