Installation
MacOS
- Download the latest zip file release (
Mastotron-macos.zip) - Unzip the file to reveal
Mastotron.app - Hold control (⌃) and click the file
- Click "Open" in the menu, then click "open" again at the prompt (more info)
- Wait for the window to appear
Linux
UPDATE 2: There are apparently complex QT/GTK windowing issues that will take time to resolve. In the meantime, try installing and running Mastotron in background mode (just added):
# install (do just once)
pip3 install -U git+https://github.com/quadrismegistus/mastotron
# run
mastotron --bg
Then, in your favorite browser, navigate to http://localhost:1789.
Let us know if that works!
Windows
... Coming soon. For now, try following instructions above for Linux. In background mode it should be possible.
Usage
Graphical use (normal)
Follow installation istructions above and then usage instructions inside the program.
(More documentation coming.)
Use within python
from mastotron import Tron
me = 'me@myserver.com'
posts = Tron().timeline(me)
