Installation¶
A more indepth look at installation
for a quickstart go to Quickstart
Make sure you have python and pip installed and ready to go.
Warning
Before you run the install command there’s a few options and things you need to be aware of see Installation options
Installation options¶
running $ pip install 3color-Press will install the package to your global site-packages.
On windows this isn’t too much of a worry (testing still needed though) as you shouldn’t
get permission denied errors.
on OsX you won’t have permission by default to add files to your global site-packages, You will either have to
- install with root privileges with
$ sudo pip install 3color-Press, - install user only.
$ pip install --user 3color-Press. - use a virtualenv
Note
- (osx/unix) if you install as root it will create your project folder as root
you can fix this by using
sudo chown -R username ~/3color-Pressafter you install
If you do option 2 the 3color command won’t be available on default. To fix this you can run sudo ln -s ~/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/bin/3color /usr/bin/3color
