Installation

2017.05.27

Install Python:

This project requires Python 2. It will not run under the latest Python 3. If you have Python 3 installed, it's not a problem. You may have multiple versions installed side-by-side. The latest version of Python 2 can be downloaded for all platforms here.

Linux users installing Python from a repository should be sure to install the pip package. Typically something like python27 and python27-pip.

Install LINE from repository:

The LINE library has a number of dependencies. The easiest way to install them is through the use of a Python package manager such as pip or easy_install. (After installing the LINE library with dependencies, remove it leaving the dependencies behind. This allows the use of the libary files included in this repository.)

pip install LINE
pip uninstall LINE

Install LINE from source:

Alternatively, you may wish to install the LINE library from the source files.

git clone https://github.com/Nilpo/LINE.git
cd LINE
python config.py
python setup.py install

Uninstall Newer Versions of Apache Thrift:

Whichever method you used to install LINE, you will have installed Apache Thrift as a dependency. The current version Thrift 0.10.0 is unsupported and needs to be downgraded to Thrift 0.9.3.

pip uninstall thrift
pip install thrift==0.9.3

Set up Environmental Variables

It's a best practice to load private credentials from environment variables rather than hard-coding them into your project. This is the best way to handle login credentials such as usernames, passwords, and API keys.

For Windows:

1. Click Start and search for Environment Variables.
2. Click Edit the environment variables to open the System Properties dialog.
3. Click Environment Variables.
4. In the System variables section, click New.
5. For Variable name, enter LINE_CLIENT_ID.
6. For Variable value, enter your email address.
7. Click OK.
8. Repeat 5-7 to set up LINE_CLIENT_PASS.

For Mac/Linux:

The export command is used to assign environmental variables to your current session. Adding this to your .bash_profile file with allows these settings to persist across sessions.

export LINE_CLIENT_ID="me@mymail.com" >> ~/.bash_profile
export LINE_CLIENT_PASS="password" >> ~/.bash_profile

After adding these lines, you can reboot or reload your profile.

source ~/.bash_profile

authToken expiration issue solved.

update authToken automatically:

$ pip install line --upgrade

There is nothing to change in your original code.

update authToken manually:

$ pip install line --upgrade
$ python
>>> from line import LineClient, LineGroup, LineContact
>>> client = LineClient("ID", "PASSWORD")
>>> client.updateAuthToken() # manual update
True

2014.08.08
