Emperor Installation Notes

Emperor is a python package that relies in QIIME, NumPy and PyCogent. These packages must be installed prior running the setup.py script.

To download Emperor, use this link or use git to get the latest version of the repository:

git clone git://github.com/qiime/emperor.git

Installation

To perform a global installation of Emperor, execute the following command from a terminal session:

python setup.py install

If you do not want to do a global installation, you will have to add the Emperor scripts and libraries to the PATH and PYTHONPATH environment variables. To add these variables to your .bash_profile issue the following terminal commands:

echo "export PATH=$HOME/emperor_bin/:$PATH" >> ~/.bash_profile
echo "export PYTHONPATH=$HOME/emperor_lib/:$PYTHONPATH" >> ~/.bash_profile
python setup.py install --install-scripts=~/emperor_bin/ --install-purelib=~/emperor_lib/ --install-lib=~/emperor_lib/

To test for a correct installation, open a new terminal window and issue the following command to see the help of make_emperor.py:

make_emperor.py -h
