unpack anki-1.0.1.tgz to /home/user/
chmod +x ./anki
(tried to run it, missing sqlalchemy)
apt-get install python-sqlalchemy
(tried again, missing module sipconfig)
google sipconfig, download sipconfig.py, copy to /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/
./anki

The first load took a long time. I guess my config info from running it under easydebian was still around cuz it automatically loadd fullscreen and started syncing my decks. sync worked great, editing and adding works, subsequent loads take under 30 seconds.

the ui is more useable than i remember, maybe a change in anki itself?

very happy to finally have full native working anki!
This worked for me too. I didn't have to find a sipconfig.py file. I did have to install

apt-get install python-qt4

to get a missing QtSvg dependancy solved. All the fonts are kind of huge and some screens are a little difficult to see. It runs much quicker than in easydebian. It's also very strange that it's picking up on my decks from the easy-debian install.

It's also doing a strange thing where about once per second the entire window within anki flashes. It's quite annoying. Anyone else had any success getting anki installed?
