| 4 Requirements | |
| 5 ------------ | |
| 6 | |
| 7 To run x, you'll need Python_ 2.4 or greater. You can also use Python 2.3 | |
| 8 if you separately install the `subprocess module`_. | |

| 12 | |
| 13 x calls out to different external tools to support different archive types. | |
| 14 Most of these are already installed on most GNU/Linux systems, so you | |
| 15 probably won't have to worry about these too much, but just for | |
| 16 completeness, the exact requirements for each format are as follows: | |
| 17 | |
| 18 tar archives | |
| 19 tar | |
| 20 | |
| 21 zip archives | |
| 22 unzip, zipinfo | |
| 23 | |
| 24 cpio archives | |
| 25 cpio | |
| 26 | |
| 27 rpm archives | |
| 28 rpm2cpio, cpio | |
| 29 | |
| 30 deb archives | |
| 31 ar, tar, zcat | |
| 32 | |
| 33 Files compressed with gzip or compress | |
| 34 zcat | |
| 35 | |
| 36 Files compressed with bzip2 | |
| 37 bzcat | |
| 38 | |
| 39 Installation | |
| 40 ------------ | |
| 41 | |
| 42 x is just a simple script, making it easy to stash wherever you need it. | |
| 43 Just copy ``scripts/x`` to a location that's convenient for you. If you'd | |
| 44 like to install the program system-wide, you can run the following as root | |
| 45 or equivalent:: | |
| 46 | |
| 47 python setup.py install |
