Immich is a language learning application that enables users to learn new languages by playing interactive games. The application is open-source and can be accessed via the GitHub repository. This tutorial will guide you through the steps to install Immich on POP! OS Latest using Git and Python Virtual Environment.
Before we go through the installation process, ensure your system has the following requirements:
The first step involves cloning the Immich GitHub repository to your local machine. To do this, follow these steps:
Open the terminal on your POP! OS system.
Navigate to the directory where you want to download the repository.
cd /path/to/directory
Run the following command to clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/alextran1502/immich.git
The repository will be downloaded to your system. Once done, navigate to the immich directory.
cd immich
Immich requires Python Virtual Environment to run. We recommend using Virtualenv package to create a virtual environment. Here are the steps:
Install Virtualenv by running the command below:
sudo apt-get install python3-venv
Create a virtual environment by running the following command:
python3 -m venv myenv
This command creates a virtual environment named 'myenv' under the current working directory.
After creating the virtual environment, you will need to activate it. Run the following command:
source myenv/bin/activate
This command activates the virtual environment, and you can tell that you are within the virtual environment by observing the command prompt that starts with '(myenv)'. The next step involves installing any dependencies required by the Immich application.
Immich requires several dependencies to run properly. The dependencies can be installed by running the command below:
pip install -r requirements.txt
This command installs all the dependencies necessary for Immich to run.
Immich uses Pygame to render graphics on your system. Install Pygame within your activated virtual environment by running the following command:
pip install pygame
Once you have completed all the previous steps, you can run Immich by typing the following command in the terminal:
python game.py
You should now be able to enjoy playing Immich and learn new languages through interactive games.
Now that you have successfully installed Immich, you can start learning new languages through its interactive games. Remember to activate the virtual environment every time you want to run the application. Use the 'deactivate' command to exit the virtual environment.
Happy learning!
