Description

Determine how appion/bin programs should be used

Currently, we have several program that need to be executed in the appion/bin folder

There are three ways to properly install appionlib:

  1. Tell users to put appion/bin folder directly in PATH evironmental variable
  2. Tell users to put appion/bin/*.py folder directly in /usr/local/bin or /usr/bin
  3. Put a symbolic link to the appion/bin/appion script into /usr/local/bin or /usr/bin and then use the appion script to launch all programs, e.g.
    appion makestack2.py --option1 --option1

If we go with option #3, then we should change the webpages to use this script

a typical site-packages folder is: /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/

See #318 for solution using setup.py, however we may need to tune this if we want to contain all of the scripts in a special appion subdirectory, rather than directly into, for example, /usr/bin/. For now, it gets the job done if you already have your special bin location created. Just run the following, for example:

   python setup.py install --install-scripts=/home/pulokas/bin

In the install guide I have the users run the setup.py script which installs all program into /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin. It is not the cleanest way, but it works.
