Installation

Here we show how to download the GUI application.

For the installation process of the Python package, see the Installation section in the relevant page Python package.

Download

Click here to get Capybara.

You can find the binary executables of Capybara for the following OS:

  • Microsoft Windows 10
  • macOs
  • Linux (Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, Arch Linux, Manjaro, etc.)

Please note that no additional installation is required. Just unzip and double-click!

For some Linux versions: you might need to manually make the file executable in a terminal

chmod +x Capybara

Build

The source code is available at https://github.com/Helio-Wang/Capybara-app.

You may want to build Capybara from source if

  • You are not using one of the supported OS (Windows, macOS, major flavors of Linux), or
  • You have made some changes to the source code.

First, clone or create the project directory and

cd Capybara-app

Capybara includes a Pipfile specifying all requirements, generated by the virtual environment management tool Pipenv. Install Pipenv if you don’t have it already:

pip install pipenv

Next, build the Pipenv virtual environment and install the requirements from Pipfile. Be sure that you already have Python 3.6 installed on your system. If you have multiple versions of Python, this command will automatically search for Python 3.6.

pipenv install

Then, you can execute the main script directly:

pipenv run python main.py

Alternatively, you can build and run the binary:

pipenv install -d
pipenv run python -OO -m PyInstaller main.py -F
dist/./main

For Windows 10 users: you also need to install pywin32-ctypes with

pipenv install pywin32-ctypes

Note that, although Pipenv automatically scans for the targeted Python version (Python 3.6), this may not give the desired result if you have multiple implementations of Python (for instance, CPython 3.6.8 and PyPy 3.6.9). In this case, you can specify the path to the correct Python version, for example:

pipenv --python /usr/bin/python3.6
