Client Installation Instructions

• Install Python 3.9.18 (any Python 3.9.x should work though)
  • Python 3.10.6 worked on Windows
  • Python 3.12 didn't work on Windows
• Install the Python dependencies needed:
  • Find the file path to the client/requirements.txt file (e.g. C:\Users\username\Downloads\pokerstars-v2\client\requirements_windows.txt)
  • In your terminal, run the command pip install -r C:\Users\username\Downloads\pokerstars-v2\client\requirements_windows.txt
    • You may need to use pip3 instead of pip
    • If not on Windows, you should use requirements_linux.txt instead.
  • If you can't find the requirements.txt file, you can directly install the dependencies with pip install art==6.1 then pip install npyscreen==4.10.5 then pip install python-socketio==5.11.1
    • You can also try without the version numbers if it can't install any of those three.
• Run the client!
  • Find the file path to the client.py file (e.g. C:\Users\username\Downloads\pokerstars-v2\client\client.py)
  • Find the server IP Address that you want to connect to (e.g. something.a.b.c)
  • In your terminal, run the command python3 client.py something.a.b.c

Notes

• Using python client.py IP --no-auto-update will disable the auto-update feature, which keeps your client up to date with the latest version on GitHub.

Server Installation Instructions

• Relatively straightforward, use Python 3.9.18, install the dependencies in server/requirements.txt, and run the server with python3 server.py.
