| Package formats | |
| --------------- | |
| S3cmd is distributed in two formats: | |
| 1) Prebuilt RPM file - should work on most RPM-based | |
| distributions | |
| 2) Source .tar.gz package | |
| Installation of RPM package | |
| --------------------------- | |
| As user "root" run: | |
| rpm -ivh s3cmd-X.Y.Z.noarch.rpm | |
| where X.Y.Z is the most recent s3cmd release version. | |
| You may be informed about missing dependencies | |
| on Python or some libraries. Please consult your | |
| distribution documentation on ways to solve the problem. | |
| Installation of source .tar.gz package | |
| -------------------------------------- | |
| There are three options to run s3cmd from source tarball: | |
| 1) S3cmd program as distributed in s3cmd-X.Y.Z.tar.gz | |
| can be run directly from where you untar'ed the package. | |
| 2) Or you may want to move "s3cmd" file and "S3" subdirectory | |
| to some other path. Make sure that "S3" subdirectory ends up | |
| in the same place where you move the "s3cmd" file. | |
| For instance if you decide to move s3cmd to you $HOME/bin | |
| you will have $HOME/bin/s3cmd file and $HOME/bin/S3 directory | |
| with a number of support files. | |
| 3) The cleanest and most recommended approach is to run | |
| python setup.py install | |
| You will however need Python "distutils" module for this to | |
| work. It is often part of the core python package (e.g. in | |
| OpenSuse Python 2.5 package) or it can be installed using your | |
| package manager, e.g. in Debian use | |
| apt-get install python2.4-setuptools | |
| Again, consult your distribution documentation on how to | |
| find out the actual package name and how to install it then. | |
| Note to distibutions package maintainers | |
| ---------------------------------------- | |
| Define shell environment variable S3CMD_PACKAGING=yes if you | |
| don't want setup.py to install manpages and doc files. You'll | |
| have to install them manually in your .spec or similar package | |
| build scripts. | |
| On the other hand if you want setup.py to install manpages | |
| and docs, but to other than default path, define env | |
| variables $S3CMD_INSTPATH_MAN and $S3CMD_INSTPATH_DOC. Check | |
| out setup.py for details and default values. | |
| Where to get help | |
