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!
Hi, I'm a newbie here, to Maemo and I have my N900 just 1 week so please take that into consideration.
I was very happy to see that someone got Anki working on N900, I tried to follow the steps you posted but I was able to accomplish just the first 2 lines (up to chmod). Then my device says that I don't have a permission to run Anki. And what did I do? In Terminal I went to Anki folder and typed ./anki
Was that the right thing to do? I mean, my knowledge of linux is VERY basic so please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm anxious to get Anki working on my device so I'll appreciate ANY help.
