Installation¶
Installing a released version¶
To install enstaller, simply executes the bootstrap.py script:
$ python bootstrap.py
enstaller-4.7.6-py2.7.egg [installing egg]
4.34 MB [......................................................]
Installing from sources¶
While you can install with the usual setup.py install
dance, it is
advised to build enstaller and install it through the bootstrap script:
$ python setup.py bdist_enegg # build dist/enstaller-<version>.egg
$ python scripts/bootstrap.py dist/enstaller-<version>.egg
Note
you can safely reinstall various versions of enstaller by re-executing the boostrap script, as it ensures the old enstaller is removed before installing the new one.
Testing the installation¶
The main CLI tool available is enpkg
, which is used to install
packages with their dependencies:
enpkg <requirement>
enpkg
uses the file ~/.enstaller4rc
to store credentials, and various
configuration settings.
