I am trying to install Pylot on my computer and am using the instructions from Pylots website. Their site asks you to install wxPython. When I try to from their provided resource I am getting thrown an error.

Here is Pylot's getting started guide: http://www.pylot.org/gettingstarted.html

It directs Linux users to install wxPython at number three on their list. I follow the resource they provide for installing wxPython (http://wiki.wxpython.org/InstallingOnUbuntuOrDebian) and get an error when I run their first line of code...

curl http://apt.wxwidgets.org/key.asc | sudo apt-key add -

This is the error I am thrown...

gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.

Can anyone help me get Pylot up and running? I am having a terrible time with it.

The hostname apt.wxwidgets.org is an invalid host.

$ host ping http://apt.wxwidgets.org/ 
host: couldn't get address for 'http://apt.wxwidgets.org/': not found

The latest supported Ubuntu version was Ubuntu 11.04.

Depending on your Ubuntu version, install python-wxgtk2.8 or python-wxgtk2.6 from the Ubuntu repositories:

sudo apt-get install python-wxgtk2.6

or

sudo apt-get install python-wxgtk2.8
