Installing Lucusr

Post by JohnS »

Tried to install this from http://lucaschess.pythonanywhere.com/home but looks like I'm missing other software. Has anyone managed to get this to work and what extra software did you install, thanks.

Just by accident I had updated my old version a week ago due to some obscure pgn reading bug
(which was gone BTW with LucasR 1.00)

I had no problem updating/exchanging again with the latest portable version (1.02 now) from the 'Downloads' page
Of course it doesn't work on XP anymore since R 1.00, but that is stated in the 'Previous releases' page
http://lucaschess.pythonanywhere.com/downloads

It just needs a while to start up at the very first time...
