Getting a copy of Ophis

As of this writing, the Ophis assembler is hosted at Github. The latest downloads and documentation will be available at http://github.com/michaelcmartin/Ophis. If this is out-of-date, a Web search on "Ophis 6502 assembler" (without the quotation marks) should yield its page.

Ophis is written entirely in Python and packaged using the distutils. The default installation script on Unix and Mac OS X systems should put the files where they need to go. If you are running it locally, you will need to install the Ophis package somewhere in your Python package path, and then put the ophis script somewhere in your path.

For Windows users, a prepackaged system made with py2exe is also available. The default Windows installer will use this. In this case, all you need to do is have ophis.exe in your path.

If you are working on a system with Python installed but to which you do not wish to install software, there is also a standalone pure-Python edition with an ophis.py script. This may be placed anywhere and running ophis.py will temporarily set the library path to point to your directory.
