<p>We run <var>troggle</var> on older, stable versions of software. So you will need to install similarly old software on your development machine. A default Debian install in October 2021 will install v11 (Bullseye) and python3.9 whereas we are still using v10 (Buster) and python3.7 for development. Buster is in <a href=" https://wiki.debian.org/LTS">LTS support</a> until June 2024. Everything should work of course, but be aware.

<h4>Cheap hack for Linux</h4>
<p>On a Linux machine, it will not be necessary once you have everything set-up correctly, but
a useful initial short-cut is to create 'mimic' symbolic links to directories to match those on the
server and the <em>expo laptop</em>.
(You should not rely on these as other people will have set up their machines differently.)
So, assuming that you are storing /expofiles/ on a different drive /mnt/f/ from everything else which is on /mnt/d/, and your machine has
no user <var>expo</var>:<pre><code>cd /home
So, assuming that you are storing /expofiles/ on a different drive /mnt/f/ from everything else which is on /mnt/c/, and your machine has
no user <var>expo</var>:<pre><code>d /home
sudo mkdir expo
cd expo
sudo ln -s /mnt/f/expofiles expofiles
sudo ln -s /mnt/d/CUCC-Expo/expoweb expoweb
sudo ln -s /mnt/d/CUCC-Expo/troggle troggle
sudo ln -s /mnt/d/CUCC-Expo/loser loser
sudo ln -s /mnt/c/EXPO/expoweb expoweb

where obviously you will be using your own locations for expofiles, expoweb, loser etc. instead of <var>/mnt/d/CUCC...</var> etc. This creates valid directory paths for, e.g. <var>/home/expo/loser</var> etc.
