| -## Setup (More detailed wiki and setup video coming soon!) |
24 |
| -To install babble is fairly simple! Head over to the releases tab and download the EXE located there. Run the EXE and install babble! After that, you can test with a USB WEBCAM by doing the following steps: |
| 19 | +## Installation |
| 20 | +### Windows |
| 21 | +Head to the releases section and [download the latest installer](https://github.com/Project-Babble/ProjectBabble/releases/latest). |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +### Linux |
| 24 | +Install `git`, `curl` and a version of `python` greater than `3.8` for your distro. |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +Then, copy paste and run the following script into the terminal of your choice: |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +```bash |
| 29 | +bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://gist.githubusercontent.com/dfgHiatus/a92a3caae24c1bfab1c7544537a654c5/raw/fc30aa550c3c7aa83c37a72168e75ef92388e39b/project-babble-install.sh)" |
| 30 | +``` |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +Once it's finished installing, you can update and run the Babble app by typing `babble-app` into your terminal. |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +*You should also be able to run the Windows executable through Wine!* |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +#### Notes: |
| 37 | +If you receive a `["Error listing UVC devices on Linux ... No such file or directory"]` when choosing/changing your camera, you'll need to install video4linux (`v4l-utils`) for your distro. |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +For Ubuntu or other distros with apt: |
| 40 | +```bash |
| 41 | +sudo apt-get install v4l-utils |
| 42 | +``` |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +If you receive a `ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tkinter'` error message on run, you'll need to install `tkinter` for your distro. |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +For Ubuntu or other distros with apt: |
| 47 | +```bash |
| 48 | +sudo apt-get install python3-tk |
| 49 | +``` |
| 50 | +For Fedora: |
| 51 | +```bash |
| 52 | +sudo dnf install python3-tkinter |
| 53 | +``` |
