Installing SciParam

Requirements

Python from http://www.python.org/
Tested with version 2.1, but should work with newer versions.

wxPython from http://wxPython.org/
Tested with version 2.2.9 and current 2.3 branch.

Installation

To install SciParam, just make sure the SciParam-$VERSION/ directory is in the "PYTHONPATH" environment variable. For example, if you extracted SciParam-0.9.0.tar.gz to /home/fred/, then you would have something like:

export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/home/fred/SciParam-0.9.0/

in your ~/.bash_profile, etc. If you use Windows NT, 2000, or XP, then set your environment variables by right-clicking on My Computer and selecting Properties. If you use some other version of windows, you'll need to set the variable at a command prompt, or in autoexec.bat, with the 'set' command.

If you'd like to install SciParam system-wide on your machine and into the default PYTHONPATH, you can use setup.py to do so:

# python ./setup.py install

Be sure to run setup.py with appropriate privileges (root under Unix).
