h-client provides a desktop application for submitting device data for h-node.org, automatically finding data known to the operating system and checking if the device is already known on h-node. Laptops are currently unsupported, most other devices can be reported more easily using the client than with the Web interface.

• Parabola package h-client
• Trisquel package h-client in DNS's PPA

You can download the client by typing the following command:

svn co svn://svn.savannah.nongnu.org/h-client/trunk/h-client

• Python 2.6 or 2.7
• Distribute
• pyGTK
• pycurl

(they would most likely be already installed).

Make sure python-setuptools is installed in order to install the client:

sudo aptitude install python-setuptools

In order to install it type:

python setup.py install --user

and run it using:

~/.local/bin/h-client

(or just h-client if added ~/.local/bin to PATH).

You may need to do the following if you receive a "KeyError: 'hclient/mo/.'" error

cd ~/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages

then unpack content of file hclient-....egg into directory with the same name as file.

cd ~/ && \
sudo apt-get install subversion checkinstall  python-setuptools && \
svn co svn://svn.savannah.nongnu.org/h-client/trunk/h-client && \
cd h-client && \
version="0.$(svn log | grep r | cut -d ' ' -f1 | head -n1)" && \
sudo checkinstall --pakdir "$HOME/Desktop" --pkgname h-client \
--pkgversion "$version~svn" --backup=no --default python setup.py install && sudo ldconfig
