How to install Modipyd

Before you can use Modipyd, you’ll need to get it installed. This document describes how to install Modipyd.

Prerequisites

Modipyd requires Python version 2.4 or higher. No other libraries/modules are needed.

Get Python at http://www.python.org. If you’re running Linux or Mac OS X, you probably already have it installed.

Installing the latest release

1. Download the latest release (Please visit the Downloads page at github.com).
2. Unpack the downloaded file (e.g. unzip ishikawa-modipyd-XXX.zip for zip archive or tar xzvf ishikawa-modipyd-XXX.tar.gz for tar.gz archive).
3. Change into the directory created in step 2 (e.g. cd ishikawa-modipyd-XXX).
4. Enter the command sudo python setup.py install at the shell prompt.

These files listed below will be installed:

• modipyd package in your Python installation’s site-packages directory
• modipyd, pyautotest commands in platform-specific location (e.g. /usr/local/bin).

That’s all. You can now move onto Getting started with Modipyd and Autotest tool.
