-====== PyHoca-GUI - Download/Installation & Usage ====== 
- 
-PyHoca-GUI is a client implementation for X2Go using [[wiki:libs:python-x2go|the project's Python X2Go client API]] (a Python module). PyHoca-GUI uses wxPython for rendering graphical desktop elements (menus, dialog boxes etc.). 
- 
-===== Download/Installation ===== 
- 
-==== Debian GNU/Linux ==== 
- 
-PyHoca-GUI can be installed from the X2Go package repository. [[:wiki:x2go-repository-debian|Add the X2Go repository for Debian to your APT system]] before you continue. 
- 
-==== Ubuntu GNU/Linux ==== 
- 
-PyHoca-GUI can be installed from X2Go PPA on Launchpad. [[:wiki:x2go-repository-ubuntu|Add the X2Go/stable PPA to your APT system]] before you continue. 
- 
-==== ==== 
- 
-After adding either of the above package source to your Debian/Ubuntu system you will need to update your system with the new repository information by starting a terminal and execute the following commands (on Debian make sure you have sudo installed and configured): 
- 
-<code> 
-$ sudo aptitude update 
-$ sudo aptitude install pyhoca-gui 
-</code> 
- 
-==== MS Windows ==== 
- 
-[[http://code.x2go.org/releases/binary-win32/pyhoca-gui/|To install PyHoca-GUI for MS Windows click here.]] Download the //bundled// (PyHoca-GUI + VcXsrv + Ghostscript) or the //pure// (PyHoca-GUI only) setup installer to you computer and run the PyHoca-GUI setup and follow the presented installation instructions. 
- 
-===== Usage ===== 
- 
-The name PyHoca is a word play combining two powerful entities: Python and Phoca (mascot of X2go, Latin species name for seals).  
- 
-PyHoca-GUI is a client implementation for X2go using the project's Python API (module) [[wiki:libs:python-x2go]]. PyHoca-GUI uses wxPython for rendering graphical desktop elements (menus, dialog boxes etc.).  
- 
-PyHoca-GUI is designed as a very minimal GUI that behaves very similar to GNOME's network manager applet (nm-applet). It appears as a small Phoca icon (a little seal) that docks to your systray panel (also called notification area) and allows you to manage multiple X2go sessions simultaneously. 
- 
-==== Command Line Arguments ==== 
- 
-PyHoca-GUI has a man page. Considering that it actually is a GUI there are quite some command line options to choose from. 
- 
-On your GNU/Linux system execute  
- 
-     $ man pyhoca-gui 
- 
-An always up-to-date html version of the pyhoca-gui man page can be be retrieved from the X2go Git repository: [[http://code.x2go.org/doc/pyhoca-gui/man/man1/pyhoca-gui.1.html|man pyhoca-gui]]. 
- 
- 
-==== Launching PyHoca-GUI ==== 
- 
-You can launch PyHoca-GUI by typing ''pyhoca-gui'' on the command line (from a terminal) or by starting it from your desktop's application menu (topic: Internet).  
- 
-PyHoca-GUI will appear on your desktop as a small icon that docks into your systray (as the GNOME applet for Network Manager does). Find this icon---it looks like a little white seal on grey background. 
- 
- 
-==== Profile Manager ==== 
- 
-PyHoca-GUI uses the same configuration files as an x2goclient.  
-Thus PyHoca-GUI should work out of the box for most setups and user profiles on a System with a working x2goclient configuration. 
- 
-If you are new to X2go and try PyHoca-GUI first, then you have to add a session profile for your (first) X2go server. 
- 
-If you //right-click// on the PyHoca-GUI icon you are offered a sub-menu called //Profile Manager//. From there, you can access all your defined X2go session profiles. 
- 
- 
-==== Starting Sessions ==== 
- 
-To start a PyHoca-GUI session //left-click// on the PyHoca icon and then choose **Authenticate X2go Server** to be presented with a list of existing session profiles.  
- 
-After you have authenticated against one of your configured server session profiles, you can access the authenticated session profile by //left-clicking// the PyHoca-GUI icon. Navigate through the GUI's menu from there, most of it should be self-explanatory.
