+ | This should give you the location of your Python 2.7 library. | ||
+ | sudo apt install libpython2.7 | ||
+ | |||
+ | Repeat the same process for the Python 3 as well. In Windows the DLL files are usually python27.dll and python3x.dll where x is the version and the installation typically puts them in your C:\WINDOWS folder tree somewhere. | ||
+ | |||
+ | As always the installed bit version of Python must match the installed version of Mystic. | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Local Codepage === | ||

+ | Start hour that paging the Sysop is allowed. | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Hours End === | ||

+ | Enable the user to send BBS email to the Sysop when paging the Sysop has failed or the user has attempted to page the Sysop outside of paging hours. | ||
