Installing The WxPython Demo¶

We are going to download the source for the whole project from the github page, and then extract the demo part.

You can use git copy to download the repository:

git clone https://github.com/wxWidgets/Phoenix.git

Once it is downlaoded, cd into the Phoenix directory. One of the subdirectories is called demo. Move this entire directory to somewhere useful. Here is the command I used:

mv demo ~/python_examples/wxpython_demo

This moves the directory into a better place and gives it a better name. Now you can delete the rest of the Phoenix directory, as you don’t need it.
