Installation¶
Using packages¶
The easiest method of installation is via packages. However, Dantalian currently only has packages for Arch Linux.
If there are no packages available for your distribution, you will need to install Dantalian manually. If you are able, please consider making a package yourself (Refer to the Developer Guide for information on packaging Dantalian).
Manual Installation¶
Make sure you have satisfied all of the dependencies above. Dantalian is installed just like any Python package:
$ 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
