Appion

h1. Install Appion Packages

h3. Install the package in _each folder_ with commands like these

*TODO: move these into a single installer, ask Jim*

<pre>

cd /your_download_area/myami/leginon

python setup.py install

cd ../pyami

python setup.py install

cd ../pyScope

python setup.py install

cd ../sinedon

python setup.py install

cd ../numextension

python setup.py install

cd ../libcv

python setup.py install

cd ../imageviewer

python setup.py install

</pre>

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

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

    * Start 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__

      RETURNS, For example,

      python> <module 'sinedon' from '/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/sinedon/__init__.pyc'> 

</pre>

      In this case, /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/ is your python-site-package-path. If you go to that directory, you will find all the packages you just installed.
