Installation¶
Install using packages from your distribution if available. Otherwise, see below for manual installation.
Arch Linux¶
Manual installation¶
Dependencies:
Build dependencies:
- setuptools
- Sphinx (for documentation)
Installation is simple. Obtain the sources, then run:
$ python setup.py install
This will most likely require root, and will install Dantalian globally on the system. Otherwise, you can use virtualenv, or install it for the user:
$ python setup.py install --user
It is recommended to install the man pages as well. The man pages can be built like so:
$ cd doc
$ make man
The man pages can be found in doc/_build/man. How they are installed depends on your system. On Arch Linux, man pages are installed in /usr/share/man as gzipped archives, so you would do the following:
$ cd doc/_build/man
$ gzip ./*
# install ./* /usr/share/man/man1
