Basic Installation
|
|
==================
|
|
These are generic installation instructions.
|
|
|
|
This software uses the Python language's distutils system for installation.
|
|
A detailed guide for users and system administrators to using distutils to
|
|
install software can be found here:
|
|
|
|
http://docs.python.org/inst/inst.html
|
|
|
|
The simplest way to install this software is to run the following command as
|
|
the root user:
|
|
|
|
python setup.py install
|
|
|
|
The setup.py script will automatically detect the directories to use for
|
|
documentation, binaries and other software files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Uninstallation
|
|
==============
|
|
During installation setup.py creates list of files and directories that
|
|
were installed in a file called install_log.txt.
|
|
|
|
python setup.py uninstall
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installing into an alternate root
|
|
=================================
|
|
For packaging purposes it is often very useful to be able to install all files
|
|
relative not to the usual root directory (/) but into an alternative
|
|
directory.
|
|
|
|
python setup.py install --root=/tmp/alternativeroot/
|
|
|
|
|
|
Operation Controls
|
|
==================
|
|
--verbose
|
|
Print more information about what setup.py is doing.
|
|
|
|
--help
|
|
