Installing

If you have not installed circuits via the the setuptools easy_install tool, then the following installation instructions will apply to you. Either you’ve downloaded a source package or cloned the development repository.

Installing from a Source Package

$ python setup.py install

For other installation options see:

$ python setup.py --help install

Installing from the Development Repository

If you have cloned the development repository, it is recommended that you use setuptools and use the following command:

$ python setup.py build develop

NB: The “build” command is required when installing from the development repository (build creates the version file which is built dynamically).

This will allow you to regularly update your copy of the circuits development repository by simply performing the following in the circuits working directory:

$ hg pull -u

NB: You do not need to reinstall if you have installed with setuptools via the circuits repository and used setuptools to install in “develop” mode.
