In order to use Magic Set Editor, you need to have libraries for wxGTK version 2.8. This can be acquired from the Ubuntu package libwxgtk2.8-0.

To install Magic Set Editor, please extract this tarball if you haven't already, and then run the install script as root.
Unfortunately, Magic Set Editor currently requires that it be installed to /usr/local/share/magicseteditor.
If, after Magic Set Editor is installed, it complains about being unable to find data in a certain path, then your system
is slightly different, and should be installed to that directory, minus the "/data". This can be done by modifying the install script.
After the install script is run and loading is confirmed, you may delete all the contents of this tarball if you wish.

Magic Set Editor stores data only in the primary installation directory and in ~/.magicseteditor.
If you need to uninstall, removing these directories should completely purge your system.
