Simply download PLink.dmg and copy PLink.app to the Applications folder. Double-click to start it, just like any other application.
To be improved, but for now the following works: Install Python, and then get the source code below and expand it. Then double-click the file:
plink\plink\__init__.py
You will need to have Python (> 2.4), Tk (>= 8.4), and Tkinter installed to run plink; for instance, if you are using Debian or Ubuntu, just install the package “python-tk”.
If you have root privileges and setuptools installed (the Linux package is usually called “python-setuptools”), simply do:
sudo python -m easy_install -f http://math.uic.edu/t3m/plink plink
This installs a shell-command called “plink” which starts PLink.
If you don’t have root privileges, download the source-code below and do:
tar xfz plink.tar.gz
cd plink
python -m plink.app
to start PLink.
The complete source code for all platforms: plink.tar.gz
You can also get it straight from the Mercurial repository:
hg clone static-http://math.uic.edu/t3m/hg/plink
