So.. I recently reinstalled my system and am now at a freshly-minted Linux Mint 17. Which is good, since now I'm on a distribution which is actually still supported (cough).
Interestingly (chinese sense of the word) I run into trouble when installing Ren'Py. Both 6.17 and 6.18. Apparently it needs python-tk and wxPython.
My system looks like it's running Python 2.7. Should I upgrade to Python 3.4 for Ren'Py to work properly?
Or something else?
I think it's a little odd, since Ren'Py is supposed to run out of the box - which admittedly it did on a windows laptop and also without too much trouble on my old system, I think. Though that's a while ago now :]

Re: Ren'Py dependencies (linux)?
renpy uses python 2.7. Something to know about python: python3 is different to python2. python 3.4 is not an upgrade to python 2.7. python 2.7 is the latest version of python2. python 3.4 is the latest version of python3.
Just install what it needs.

Ren'Py should ship out of the box. So if it doesn't run on a fresh mint, please drop to the command line, run renpy.sh, and let me know what the error is.

Aha? Ok, done..
On attempted launch of Editra by clicking script.rpy from the menu:
The other dependency was on tkinter / python-tk which I then installed and things went fine after that, but I can try uninstalling again; brb.

Oh, that.
Editra uses the system python, so you'll need to install python-wxgtk2.8.

Hmm. I removed package python-tk again, but the error I experienced before hasn't returned; tried using renpy 6.17.7 again freshly unpacked, but everything now goes smoothly until it hits the wxpython dependency as above.
python-wxgtk2.8, ok, will do.. and thanks, I wasn't sure which package I was supposed to install :]
