Compile from Source

1. Clone repository

    $ git clone https://github.com/amygdalama/nagini.git
   

2. Compile intermediary Python

    $ cd nagini/cpython
    $ ./configure
    $ make
   

3. Create a symlink for the intermediary Python and add it to the PATH

    $ ln -s python.exe python
    $ export PATH=$(pwd):$PATH
   

4. Compile Nagini

    $ cd ../nagini-python
    $ ./configure
    $ make
   

5. Make the nagini script executable

    $ cd ../
    $ chmod a+x nagini
   

6. Add the location of the nagini script to your path

    $ export PATH=$(pwd):$path
   

   Or, if you want access to the nagini command for all terminal sessions, add the following line to your .bashrc or .bash_profile:

    export PATH=/path/to/nagini:$PATH
