Checks to see if dependencies were installed correctly
|
|
------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
You can do the following checks to see if the dependencies were installed correctly.
|
|
|
|
For Tkinter
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Launch Python, and then at the prompt, type::
|
|
|
|
>>> import Tkinter
|
|
|
|
Or in Python 3::
|
|
|
|
>>> import tkinter
|
|
|
|
If you have Tkinter, Python will not print an error message, and if not, you will see an ``ImportError``.
|
|
|
|
For ghostscript
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Run the following to check the ghostscript version.
|
|
|
|
For Ubuntu/macOS::
|
|
|
|
$ gs -version
|
|
|
|
For Windows::
|
|
|
|
C:\> gswin64c.exe -version
|
|
|
|
Or for Windows 32-bit::
|
|
|
|
C:\> gswin32c.exe -version
|
|
|
|
If you have ghostscript, you should see the ghostscript version and copyright information.
