/r/place	Python script + tutorial

---

This is a command prompt run script that will automatically place pixels for you based on specified coordinates and a picture of your choosing. I will give you the correct picture, directions, and information to set this up to upgrade our little clover.

I have tested this two times on two different computer, both running windows 8.1 and it worked both times

ABRIDGED TUTORIAL: Try this first, if you have issues ask in discord or maybe refer to the longer, and a little more convoluted version.

STEP ONE

---

We need to install python.

https://www.python.org/downloads/

I downloaded 3.6.1

It's a simple installer, just run it.

Next we want to set our environment variable, go into your control panel, and then to system, on the left hand side go to Advanced system settings, then near the bottom go to Environment variables.

The bottom panel "system variables" go down just a tad to find the "path" variable, click on it and then click edit. You'll need to put the install path on python into the text field that pops up.

Mine defaulted to

C:\Users\Space Cowboy\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36

but yours may vary.

Now all we need to do now and ensure that python is installed correctly, open up command prompt and simply type python. If it returns something then you're good to go, if it gives an error or doesn't know what you mean, you've messed something up.

---

STEP TWO

---

Okay, now that we've installed python we can run our script, right? Nope. the script requires two additional libraries to run, they're basically modules that addon to python. We need the "pillows" library, and the "requests" library.

The best way to go about getting these is to install pip, which we will use to download and install through the command line, so lets install pip.

The easiest way to get pip installed is to use get-pip. A python file that will get pip for us.

https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py

Go to this webpage and right click on some blank space and click save as, it should by default try to save itself as a .py files, which is what you want, make sure it is.

Once you have the get-pip.py file, you want to put it into the main folder of your python installation.

To run it, we need to open the command line again, and direct our command prompt to the file path of the get-pip.py

Do this with cd

So

cd C:\Users\Space Cowboy\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36

should work in this case. Once there, we're ready to run the python script. Run

python get-pip.py

or whatever the name of your get-pip file is.

You should see a progress bar in the command line and it should install. If you want to ensure a good pip install, cd into your script folder in your python directory and run

pip freeze

Since you have no libraries installed yet, this wont turn up anything most likely, but as long as you don't get an error and the command goes through you should be fine.

Congratulation, you've installed pip! Are you ready to kill yourself yet? I sure am, who the fuck made this shit.

---

STEP THREE

---

Now we have to install our two libraries, since we've installed pip, this should be pretty easy, just two commands. Here are the two sources just in case you wanted to check them out or something, you autist.

Pillow: https://pillow.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html

Requests: http://docs.python-requests.org/en/master/user/install/#install

Now again, cd into your main python directory and here are the two commands. (Or maybe the script folder? sorry I cant remember which)

pip install Pillow

---

pip install requests

For both you should see a similar install process that you did for pip. If you wanna make sure, run pip freeze in the script folder again and it should return both pillow and requests.

And finally, we have everything we need to actually run the god damned script.

---

STEP FOUR

---

Okay, here is the post where I found the script.

https://www.reddit.com/r/place/comments/62sn70/i_created_a_script_to_place_pixels_according_to/

Go to the pastebin, copy the file into notepad, save it as a .py

Save this image

http://i.imgur.com/hNLKmqN.png

Place them both into the main python directory, then cd there

Now to construct the command to actually get this thing rolling.

python placer.py image.png 375 100 username password

placer.py being the file you got from reddit

image.png, being the included blueprint image included

375 100, the correct coords for them

And of course, your login so it can do its thing, no it's not going to steal your account you dummies.

---

Hit enter and bam, you are officially as autistic as they come.

If this turns out well, we will update with a new picture and coords to have more fun.

EDIT: DUE TO TALKS WITH STEVEN UNIVERSE WE'RE MOVING THE SIGN 5 PIXELS OVER. PLEASE RERUN YOUR SCRIPTS WITH 375 INSTEAD OF 370
