Installation - adampresley/placefinder-py GitHub Wiki

To install placefinder-py there are two method available. The first is a simple install from PyPi while the second method is installing from source.

From PyPi

For most Linux systems installation is as simple as executing a command on the terminal. There are two methods available from the terminal. The first is by using easy_install. Note that these examples show using sudo to run the install as root. This may or may not be required by your distribution of Linux.

$ sudo easy_install placefinder-py

The second version of this uses pip to perform the install.

$ sudo pip install placefinder-py

Source Install

If you'd like to do a source install you have a couple of options. The first is to download a ZIP file here from Github, extract it, and run the setup tool. The second is to clone a read-only copy of this Github repository, or even make a fork and clone it. Here I will show a clone of the read-only repository and running the setup to install placefinder-py.

The following commands should be executed in a directory you have full access to. Clearly this will be some place you would store code normally.

$ git clone git://github.com/adampresley/placefinder-py.git
$ cd placefinder-py
$ sudo python setup.py install
