How do I install it? #57

pkor · 2013-04-10T17:45:51Z

I have no idea where to begin installing this. I want to use it with kivy on android for the tts module. I can't find any documentation except for how to use it after it's installed. I tried using 'make' but my system doesn't recognize the 'make' command even after installing make. Need more detail on this. Maybe step by step (including installing make).

Pyjnius is shipped in kivy/python-for-android already, no need to do
antyhing :).

Thanks! I wasn't aware that it came with python for android. If I want to do testing before running on the android device I'll need to run it under windows? To do that are there some more detailed instructions than the above link?

akshayaurora · 2013-04-10T20:20:09Z

Download windows package for mysysgit http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/,
install it.
Run the app.
It should open a terminal
cd to the directory kivy.bat is located in.
type "git clone http://github.com/kivy/pyjnius"
This should download pyjnius.
now edit kivy.bat and add the path to pyjnius to PYTHONPATH
close the terminal.

Now you should be able to import pyjnius in your.py file.

Best Regards

Thank you! The git for windows is great especially the git gui! However in editing the batch file, I see a section 'set PATH' and one 'set PYTHONPATH' . I'm not sure which one to put it under (or if both) or at all how it should look. Should it be like: 'set PYTHONPATH=%kivy_portable_root%kivy;%PYTHONPATH%kivy_portable_root%pyjnius;'?

pkor · 2013-04-11T18:23:01Z

I tried several variants with the kivy.bat file and finally came up with one that allows me to import 'jnius' but then the debugger says this:

"Traceback (most recent call last):
File "~\main.py", line 4, in

At first glance it looks like the problem is with the initial import but the error is actually in the init.py file of the jnius directory. So it knows where it is but something is wrong from there on. My batch file looks like this now:

Yes, this one:

P.S.

I inserted the "~" character in place of the root directory in this comment.

akshayaurora · 2013-04-11T22:45:11Z

I fear I might have missed a step. Apologies for that.

Double click kivy.bat, this should open a terminal.
Type

cd pyjnius
make

This should compile pyjnius and hopefully you'd be able to use it from here
on.

Best Regards
p.s make sure you have java setup in your path

Thank you for all your help on this. When I run make I get this error:

Does this mean I don't have java in the path? I have the JAVA_HOME, JRE_HOME and JDK_HOME environment variables set up. Do I need more than this?

akshayaurora · 2013-04-12T17:02:35Z

It seems that you are using the tools provided with kivy1.5.1, please
download the latest packages from kivy.org/download.
See if that makes any difference.

Can you run javac from the console? Does it run/throw any error?

I get this:

'C:~\Kivy-1.5.1-w32>javac
'javac' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.'

I'm guessing that means java is not in the path? I'll try the new version and see where that get's me. Also if pyjnius is needed for so many things, why can't we just have it included in the package? This is alot to go through just to get the access that py4a already has.

"Thanks! I wasn't aware that it came with python for android. If I want to

I assumed you understood that it is included in python-for-android. as
stated by Gabriel earlier. How do you intend to test? I assumed you wanted
to test how to make calls through pyjnius by trying to make calls to normal
java methods available on a desktop.

If you just want to test how pyjnius can be used on android then just use
github.com/kivy/kivy-remote-shell.

This will give you a shell in your desktop that is connected to
kivy-remote-shell on your android device. Allowing you to experiment with
pyjnus on android.

pkor · 2013-04-16T17:04:36Z

I added the environment variable as mentioned above- directing it to the exact path of the javac file and it will not recognize it at all. It recognizes when I type 'java' on the command prompt but there is no environment variable for 'java'. The path I set for the 'javac' variable is: ' C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_17\bin'. If I cd to this path and type 'javac' of course it recognizes it. That could only mean that the environment variable is not set, but I know I have it set in system and user variables. What am I doing wrong with this?

akshayaurora · 2013-04-17T12:58:21Z

Sry to be late in replying on this but I really can't help you much here, I
personally don't use windows and wouldn't know how to setup java except
maybe follow the official documentation/how to for windows.

I'd make sure you had javac available inside the path you mentioned. Are
you sure you have JDK installed and not just JRE?
Just to be sure try uninstalling all java packages in your system and then
downloading and installing JDK following the instructions from here
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/webnotes/install/windows/jdk-installation-windows.html#install

After wasting hours on how to set this up properly, this is what worked for me. I have tried to be as verbose as possible.

Download and install jdk (if not installed)
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
System/Environment Variables (replace jdk1.7.0_79 with your jdk version )
- Add to Environment Variables:
  - JDK_HOME C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_79\
  - PATH C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_79\jre\bin\server\
- Add to System Variables:
  - PATH: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_79\bin\
Install pip (if not installed)

https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/installing/

Install Cython (if not installed):

Install wheel: pip install wheel
Install cython:
- Download cython for windows: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#cython
- pip install Cython-0.24-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl (use appropriate filename)

Install Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler for Python 2.7:

http://aka.ms/vcpython27

Python modules can be part written in C (typically for speed). If you try to install such a package with Pip (or setup.py), it has to compile that C/C++ from source. Refer:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2817869/error-unable-to-find-vcvarsall-bat/26127562#26127562
Install setuptools for the compiler to work:

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools#windows-simplified

Download pyjnius source and install:

https://github.com/kivy/pyjnius
python setup.py install

dessant · 2016-06-22T21:52:09Z

@harishankarv, nice work 👍 . This could actually land in the pyjnius installation docs if you want to make a pr for it.

harishankarv · 2016-06-22T22:09:17Z

I just realized I may have posted in the wrong issue section. Maybe should have posted this here?
Anywho, sure thing @dessant, I'll send a pull request!

snoop911 · 2017-04-23T02:25:18Z

I just installed newer version of kivy 1.9.1, buildozer .32, and Cython 0.21, yet I also get the jnius error:

File "bluetooth_kivy.py", line 15, in
from jnius import autoclass
ImportError: No module named jnius

(I'm using the example from https://gist.github.com/tito/7432757 )

LCPallares · 2019-06-25T20:26:09Z

Download windows package for mysysgit http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/,
install it.
Run the app.
It should open a terminal
cd to the directory kivy.bat is located in.
type "git clone http://github.com/kivy/pyjnius"
This should download pyjnius.
now edit kivy.bat and add the path to pyjnius to PYTHONPATH
close the terminal.

Now you should be able to import pyjnius in your.py file.
