Custom Python Installation Location
|
|
###################################
|
|
|
|
This page is based on `custom installation locations <http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall#custom-installation-locations>`, from the PEAK site.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Unix/Linux
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
#. Create `$HOME/.pydistutils.cfg`:
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
[install]
|
|
install_lib = ~/.py-site-packages
|
|
install_scripts = ~/bin
|
|
|
|
#. Create (or extend) the `PYTHONPATH` environment variable (for (ba)sh):
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
export PYTHONPATH=~/.py-site-packages
|
|
|
|
#. Run `setup.py` script to fetch and install dependencies
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
python setup.py install
|
|
|
|
Prefix `~/.py-site-packages` can be changed to something more suitable for your setup.
|
|
|
|
**Note for Linux users:** Make sure you have the `python-dev` package installed for your Python version, as some code needs to be compiled (those are packages Gaphor depends on, not Gaphor itself).
|
|
|
|
**Note for Ubuntu Linux users:** Make sure you have the `build-essential` package installed. This package installs header files and what more, required to compile the C-extensions of `zope.interface`.
|
|
|
|
Windows
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
**NOTE:** For Windows users it may be simpler to just forget about custom installation locations. Just follow the instructions on [wiki:Win32] and you should be set.
|
|
|
|
The Windows installation is almost the same as for Unix.
|
|
|
|
Replace `yourname` with your login name.
|
|
|
|
#. Distutils requires a HOME variable where it can find the configuration file. So in your Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Environment Variables add the following:
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
HOME=C:\Documents and Settings\yourname\Home
|
|
|
|
|
|
#. Create a directory `C:\Documents and Settings\yourname\Home`. Also create `%HOME%\py-site-packages`.
|
|
|
|
#. Eventually add the Python directory to your `PATH` (default is `C:\Python26`)
|
|
|
|
#. Create (or extend) `PYTHONPATH` variable:
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
PYTHONPATH=%HOME%\py-site-packages
|
|
|
|
#. Create a file `%HOME%\pydistutils.cfg` with the following content:
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
[install]
|
|
install_lib=$home\py-site-packages
|
|
install_scripts=$home\bin
|
|
|
|
[build]
|
|
compiler=mingw32
|
|
|
|
Now you should be able to do `python setup.py install` from the command line.
|
|
|
|
If you are a developer you should definitely install MinGW from http://mingw.org and add MinGW's `bin` directory to your path.
|
|
|
|
For a good Subversion client for Windows have a look at `TortoiseSVN <http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/>`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mac OS X
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
Mac OS X is quite simple: place the following in your `$HOME/.pydistutils.cfg`:
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
[install]
|
|
install_lib = ~/Library/Python/$py_version_short/site-packages
|
|
install_scripts = ~/bin
|
|
|
|
