You need to change your directory to where it was downloaded and then run it. It does not install system wide yet.

Type in the terminal:
cd ~/pyroom

then
python pyroom.py

and type away!

Blaine: PyRoom is a very young project and as yet it does not show up in the menu. If you look in the directory where you downloaded the files, you should see a file called “pyroom.py”. Typing “python pyroom.py” will run pyroom.

I am using LyX to compose (as well as document process) and would like to try PyRoom since I have heard about how good (simple) WriteRoom is for composing. I installed bazaare and followed directions. What shows in terminal is that four branches have been download or installed or something. But I can’t find PyRoom in my menu. How do I run it and give it a try? In terminal? Please advise. I am running kubuntu gutsy 64 bit. Thanks!!!

The most important feature than none of the “Writeroom clones” have implemented is that in Writeroom, when the Enter key is pressed, the cursor always stays at eye-level and the text moves up.
