Installation

wxHumphrey requires Python 2.5 or 2.6 and wxPython (tested with 2.8). Unfortunately, wxPython is not installable using pip, so you have to install it using your system's package manager or manually. Afterwards, you can install wxHumphrey using easy_install or pip:

pip install humphrey.wx

At this point, you should be able to start the application using the command wxhumphrey.

If you want to keep your collection data in MySQL or PostgreSQL, check the documentation of the core package.
