1. Installation

WupperCodeGen is written in Python and was tested with versions 2.6 and 2.7. Additionally, you will need to install the Jinja2 template engine and the Python Yaml parser. In case of Python 2.6 you will have to install the argparse module as well.

1.1. Scientific Linux and RedHat-based distributions

Installation of system-wide Jinja2 in SLC6:

sudo yum install python-jinja2 python-argparse python-PyYAML

1.2. Ubuntu

Installation of system-wide Jinja2 in Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install python-jinja2 python-yaml

1.3. Using Virtual Python Environments

This method allows to install the necessary dependencies in an isolated Python environment, without affecting system packages. The method described here is independent of the operating system being used, as long as it is used with a supported version of Python.

Installation in a virtual environment:

# create the virtual environment
virtualenv venv/ --python=/path/to/python26-or-27

# activate the virtual environment
source venv/bin/activate

# install Jinja2 ad other modules
      pip install Jinja2
pip install argparse
pip install PyYAML

# you can now use WupperCodeGen
# the virtual environment can be deactivated with
source venv/bin/deactivate
