XUTools: eXTended UNIX Text-Processing Tools - Documentation

Python 2.7.1
Pyparsing 1.5.6
Numpy 1.6.2. If you are installing on 64-bit Windows, then use these installers instead.

First, we are going to install the prerequisites.

Install Python.
Open the command prompt. If you have installed Python at the default location, then add Python to the path: PATH C:\Python27;%PATH%
Unzip the Pyparsing file to extract the pyparsing-1.5.6 directory. From within this directory, run python setup.py install.
Double click on the Numpy installer

Now, we are ready to install XUTools

Download XUTools
Unzip the zip file
For notation purposes, let XUTOOLS_HOME denote the unzipped XUTools directory.
You can move XUTOOLS_HOME to somewhere that you want to install XUTOOLS.
``C:> cd $XUTOOLS_HOME
Run the test suite: python .src\run_test_suite.py. All of the test cases should pass. Currently, you should see a some output that corresponds to visual verification of behavior. This is bad test writing and will be fixed.
Add xutools to the path. PATH C:\XUTOOLS_HOME\src\xutools\cmd;%PATH%
Add the xutools modules to PYTHONPATH. C:> set PYTHONPATH=%PYTHONPATH%;C:\XUTOOLS_HOME\src
Try some of the usage EXAMPLES for xugrep(1), xuwc(1), and xudiff(1). Please note that the example data files reside in XUTOOLS_HOME.
You are ready to go! Stay tuned for more.
