setup.py

[Mahmood Naderan]

Hi,
In the user guide, it is said to run the setup.py [1]. However, that
scripts needs some commands and options. Those are not described in
the user guide.

$ python3.6 setup.py
usage: setup.py [global_opts] cmd1 [cmd1_opts] [cmd2 [cmd2_opts] ...]
or: setup.py --help [cmd1 cmd2 ...]
or: setup.py --help-commands
or: setup.py cmd --help

error: no commands supplied


I appreciate if someone explains more.



Regards,
Mahmood

Hi Mahmood,

I would recommend to build and install from the source using cmake:

http://cgns.sourceforge.net/download.html

Then, export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=the path to libcgns.so.

It is also important to appropriately link HDF5 library in libcgns.so, which is discussed in the following thread:

https://groups.google.com/d/msg/pyfrmailinglist/qp5r3nlsONQ/4YzHuyGwEQAJ

Best regards,

OK I will try that. Meanwhile, I see that only three files are copied
to /usr/local/


/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/pyfr-1.7.5-py3.6.egg
/usr/local/bin/pyfr
/usr/local/bin/mako-render


I guess that virtualenv (which you recommend) is a mean to install
pyfr in a custom location. Am I right? If not, please let me know how
to install in a custom loation rather than /usr/local


Regards,
Mahmood
