## Installation
### Windows, Linux, and Mac
The requirements for running the program are: Python 2.7 (or 2.6 may work), Kivy 1.8 (at least 1.4), and pygame 1.9.1 (others may work). If you have these requirements, then you just need to either add your binaries (bitmonerod(.exe), simplewallet(.exe), and optionally minerd(.exe) and optionally wallet files to your cryptonoteRPCwalletGUI folder, or unzip the cryptonoteRPCwalletGUI contents into the folder where you currently have your binaries and wallet files. For the time being they have to be in the same local directory.

Currently there are no binaries available. I'm in the process of trying to compile an exe for Windows, and I think it should be easier to create binaries for linux. I've tested the program on Windows 7 & 8.1 and Debian Wheezy, and it seems to work OK on both. I think it should also work on Mac, but I haven't been able to test that yet.

## Running
It should be OK to launch the program with an instance of bitmonerod, simplewallet, or minerd running, but the program won't allow you to launch another instance of these programs if it detects they are already running. So, unless you know that you are running bitmonerod and simplewallet in RPC mode, it's probably best to just launch them from within the GUI program. If you close just the GUI though, it should be fine to relaunch when one or all of the binaries are already running.

So, unless you know that you are running bitmonerod and simplewallet in RPC mode on default ports, it's probably best to just launch them from within the GUI program. If you close just the GUI though, it should be fine to relaunch when one or all of the binaries are already running.
You can pass your wallet filename and password as arguments on the commandline, if you're launching from the command line, however this is currently not done in the most robust way possible, so make sure you just pass two arguments, the first being wallet name and second password, or the program will probably fail to start. I'm looking to make this more robust using argparse rather than argv.
