Appion

h1. Install Appion/Leginon Packages

h3. Install all the python packages included with myami as follows:

<pre>

cd /your_download_area

cd myami

./pysetup.py install

</pre>

That will install each package, and report any failures.  To determine the cause of failure, see the generated log file "pysetup.log".  If necessary, you can enter a specific package directory and run the python setup command manually.  For example, if sinedon failed to install, you can try again like this:

<pre>

cd sinedon

python setup.py install

</pre>

h3. python-site-package-path: where the installed python packages went:

Python installer put the packages you installed into its site-packages directory. This enables all users on the same computer to access them. The easiest way to discover where your installed package is loaded from by python is to load a module from the package using interactive python command lines like this:

Start the python command line from shell:

 <pre>python</pre>

Import a module from the package. Let's try sinedon here. All packages installed through the above setup.py script should go to the same place.

 <pre>python> import sinedon</pre>

If the module is loaded successfully, call the module attribute __path__ (two underscrolls before "path" and two underscrolls after) will return the location of the module it is loaded from

<pre>

python> sinedon.__path__

['/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/sinedon']

</pre>

In this case, /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ is your python-site-package-path. If you go to that directory, you will find all the packages you just installed.

Save this value for use later, for bash:

<pre>

export PYTHONSITEPKG='/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages'

</pre>

or C shell

<pre>

setenv PYTHONSITEPKG '/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages'

</pre>
