Glossary

Pyzor

Pyzor is written in Python, and so the Python language needs be installed. This is included with most modern Linux distributions and is available for other operating systems including AIX, Solaris, and HP/UX. Pyzor source is packaged in a tar.bz2 file, using the bzip2 compression scheme. A bunzip2 program is required, and is installed on most Linux distributions. Binary bunzip2 utilities for other UNIX-like operating systems can be downloaded from the Internet.

Note

Pyzor uses TCP port 24441 for communicating with a server, so any firewall must be configured to allow outgoing connections on that port.

Installing Pyzor

Pyzor is available in RPM format only for Mandrake Linux. The rpm -i command can be used to install the RPM once it is downloaded. Packages are also available for Gentoo Linux and Debian Linux. Use emerge pyzor or apt-get pyzor respectively.

For all other distributions and operating systems, Pyzor should be installed from source. Pyzor can be downloaded from the Pyzor website...
