install and configure Kivy and Eclipse Luna

Today I would like to post about Kivy, which is a great Framewok based on python to develop apps with rich UI. I think this is a cool library, I am not using it for business purposes, I am teaching python this semester so it's really cool to focus on it.

So, first to install kivy on Ubuntu, open a terminal and type these commands:

1. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kivy-team/kivy
2. sudo apt-get update
3. sudo apt-get install python-kivy kivy-examples

after this, you may check the examples at /usr/share/kivy-examples

Next step is to install eclipse luna which is the latest version of this project, just go to:
https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ and choose the version you like more, in my case I chose "for Java EE DEvelopers" one, wait until it's downloaded

once it finished, just unpack the tar.gz file, and execute the file called "eclipse" and that's it, now you have Eclipse Luna installed.

last steps are:
from eclipse main menu, go to "help" menu and choose "install new software", in the new window, in the"work with..." section type:
http://pydev.org/updates

Pydev is another important IDE for Python, the integration with eclipse is really great.

click on next, accept the terms and wait some minutes until it finished the process

and if you don't get any weird message you have done this job

cheers
