Installation - GPX Viewer Wiki - GPX Viewer

Binaries

The easiest way to start using GPX Viewer is to install the binary for your system.

• Packages for several Linux distributions are available at openSUSE Build Service. Those who prefer stability can use stable version, and others can try the latest development build.
• Windows installers are available in the downloads section. These installers should work for Windows Vista and more recent versions. Python3 and other dependences necessary to run GPX Viewer are included in the installers. However, you may need to install the Windows update if you don't already have it.

Building from sources

First of all make sure you have all the dependencies installed:

• Python3
• PyQt5
• QCustomPlot_PyQt5 for Python
• Setuptools

You can use your Linux package manager or prefer manual installation (more details about QCustomPlot_PyQt5 are here). The latter way is the only available for Windows users. In this case you should download Python3 from the official website and use pip to install other packages from Python Package Index:

 sudo pip install PyQt5 QCustomPlot_PyQt5 setuptools

Get GPX Viewer sources from downloads or checkout the latest development revision. Then run

sudo python3 setup.py install

from the sources directory to install GPX Viewer. On Linux the binary gpxv will be installed to the default path and GPX Viewer shortcut should also appear in the application launcher menu. On Windows the executable gpxv.exe will be in the Scripts folder of your Python installation.
