Islamic software -Noor a quran viewer free download

Noor_3  Noor application is useful for viewing Quran. Currently it has a GTK interface that uses PyGtk library, a CGI interface that can be used in web servers and a text interface that outputs a sura to a text file.

How to install:
For using the GTK interface you need to install Python_ and PyGTK_ (they are installed by default in some linux distributions like Ubuntu). You can start it by running "noorgtk.py" script either from the command line or by double clicking it in the extracted folder. That is, no installation is necessary.

But if you like, you can run "python setup.py install" to install Noor. After that you'll be able to run "noorgtk.py" in the terminal from any location.

Installing the CGI script, "noorcgi.py", is like installing any other CGI script. You probably have to copy it to the ``cgi-bin`` directory of your web server. Bu before that you should either install noor as described in the previous paragraph or change the line in ``noorcgi.py`` file which looks like::
# Add noor to the python path if its not installed:
sys.path.append('/noor/extracted/folder/')
to point to the folder in which you've extracted noor. Note that if you want to use the CGI interface you no longer need to install PyGTK_.
