1. ABOUT ITAKA:

Itaka is an on-demand screen capture server for Windows, Mac Os X and Linux. It is developed in Python, PyGTK and the Twisted Framework. It prominently features a polished easy to use interface, with a robust backend server.

2. REQUIRED LIBRARIES:

Itaka requires the following programs/libraries.

- Python 2.3 or higher
- PyGTK 2.10.0 or higher
- Twisted 2.2.0 or higher

- GTK 2.10 or higher

3. INSTALLATION: 
Itaka needs to be installed as the root user.

Unpack and install the Itaka tarball using these commands:

   'tar -xjvf <packagename>.tar.bz2'

Switch to the newly created directory and type 'make install' as root and the 
Makefile will copy the files to the correct location in your system. You do not 
need to configure or compile Itaka as it is written in interpreted Python code.

By default itaka will be installed in /usr/local/, if you want to use another location, add PREFIX=/usr/mylocation after every make command, including unnstall.

Example: make PREFIX=/usr

To uninstall, once again as root type 'make uninstall'

4. DEBIAN PACKAGE:

To create the Debian package simply do:

    # Make sure you have your gpg keys and debian development environment correctly setup
    # You must also package the itaka source as a tarball per debian guidelines.

    debuild

5. DOCUMENTATION:

Itaka uses Epytext Markup Language to comment its code. 

You can ownload epydoc from http://epydoc.sourceforge.net/
