Install the repository manually

[titipata]

Hello all,

I would like to ask it there is any developers document. I'm finding a way to install SPyFFI manually directly from the repository. I tried cloning the repo and use python setup.py install but it didn't work.

Hey Titipat,

Unless you run with super user privileges, python setup.py install may not work.

You could try:

sudo python setup.py install

Or if you have the super user password

su -c "python setup.py install"

Alternatively, if you have virtualenv installed, you can try installing as an ordinary user

virtualenv venv ; ./venv/bin/python setup.py install

If you are still having problems, perhaps you could post your console output?

Thanks!

P.S. Please give my kind regards to Prof. Mel Ulmer when you get the chance :D

Hello @xcthulhu, thanks a lot! I still get error as following. My Operating system is OSX El Capitan (10.11.6) and I use Python 3 installed with Anaconda. I'm not sure if someone has the same problem as me too.

Hmm... can you type python --version and tell me the result?

This might be a python version issue. In which case, perhaps you could try

python2.7 setup.py install

[titipata]

Ah, here is my Python version is Python 3: Python 3.5.2 :: Anaconda custom (x86_64). I tried on my Python 2 (Python 2.7.12 :: Anaconda 2.3.0 (x86_64)) and it works with python setup.py install! I guess I can close an issue then?

[xcthulhu]

Okay, I should update the documentation to be more explicit about only supporting python 2.7

I will open up another issue related to python 3.0 support

[titipata]

@xcthulhu thanks again! I'm still in the moving phase to Python 3. I believe that most people are still using Python 2.7 so it's not in a rush at all ;)
