virt-manager/INSTALL

  Basic Install
  =============

For starters, if you just want to run virt-manager/virt-install to test out
changes, it can be done from the source directory:

    ./virt-manager

To install the software into /usr/local (usually), you can do:

    python setup.py install

To build an RPM, you can run:

    python setup.py rpm

setup.py generally has all the build and install commands, for more info see:

    python setup.py --help-commands
    python setup.py install --help
    http://docs.python.org/inst/standard-install.html


  Pre-requisite software
  ======================

A detailed dependency list can be found in virt-manager.spec.in

Minimum version requirements of major components:

  python >= 2.7
  gtk3 >= 3.14
  libvirt-python >= 0.6.0
  pygobject3 >= 3.14
  libosinfo >= 0.2.10

On Debian or Ubuntu based distributions, you need to install the
gobject-introspection bindings for some depedencies like libvirt-glib
and libosinfo. Look for package names that start with 'gir', for example
gir1.2-libosinfo-1.0

Bump gtk and pygobject deps to 3.14 We need to bump the gtk dep to at least 3.10 for GtkRevealer usage, and I want to bump the pygobject higher to drop some bug workarounds. But since the oldest thing I have that meets those requirements is RHEL/Centos 7.3 which is at 3.14 for both, set those as the minimum versions since that's what I'll be testing against. They are still 1.5 years old and only a bit over a year newer than the previous versions, so it's not a huge change. 2016-05-18 00:07:48 +03:00			`A detailed dependency list can be found in virt-manager.spec.in`

INSTALL: update Python version requirement to 2.7 The virt-clone file uses the argparse module. This module is only found in version 2.7 of Python or higher. So update the documentation to indicate Python 2.7 or higher is required. Signed-off-by: John Arbuckle <programmingkidx@gmail.com> 2016-05-06 17:21:49 +03:00			`python >= 2.7`
