Installation instructions
Python
You need a python with setuptools, zlib, bz2 and ssl support.
Try that in your interpretery:
>>> import tarfile >>> import zipfile >>> import bz2 >>> import _ssl >>> import zlib >>> import setuptools >>>
If you do not have that, you can give a try to my pyboostrapper that bootstrap a python somewhere:
wget http://hg.minitage.org/hg/minitage/shell/raw-file/tip/PyBootstrapper.sh chmod +x PyBootstrapper.sh ./PyBootstrapper.sh /path/to/pythonPrefix
Using virtualenv
You ‘d better to use virtualenv , minitage fits well with it.
virtualenv is a tool that allow you to create isolated Python environments.
Here is how to set up an environment with it:
Install virtualenv:
easy_install virtualenv #(maybe use sudo ;))Install minitage prefix:
virtualenv --no-site-packages ~/minitageactivate it:
source ~/minitage/bin/activateKEEP IN MIND THAT YOU MUST ACTIVATE VIRTUALENV AT ANY TIME YOU USE IT.
Installing minitage
A stable version
Minitage is a classical python egg, you can get it throught easy_install.
To install minitage in a stable version, follow those steps:
Install minitage:
easy_install -U mercurial minitage.coreSync its packages (all its minilays in minitage terminology).:
minimerge -s
A develop version:
If you want to be bleeding edge and not lhave a 3 years old debianised minitage, you can give a try to the egg in developement mode?
If you need to, fire your virtualenv:
source ~/minitage/bin/activateGet the sources:
mkdir -p ~/repos/minitage cd ~/repos/minitage hg clone http://hg.minitage.org/hg/minitage/eggs/minitage.core hg clone http://hg.minitage.org/hg/minitage/eggs/minitage.recipeOr update them:
hg pull -u -R ~/repos/minitage/minitage.core hg pull -u -R ~/repos/minitage/minitage.recipeInstall/Reinstall minitage in develop mode:
cd ~/repos/minitage/minitage.core python setup.py develop cd ~/repos/minitage/minitage.recipe python setup.py develop
Syncing packages
To sync all your minilays
If you need to, fire your virtualenv:
source ~/minitage/bin/activateSync:
minimerge -s
