Installing apps from clone (github)

[zimrapid]

Whats the best way of installing a cloned app into my project.

I am downloading from my project directory and it creates a folders (rapidsms-app name) inside.

I go into the folder to run (sudo python setup.py install) .

How for i make sure the installs are in my project?

Which app are you trying to install? If it's on PyPI or has a setup.py file, I'd recommend using virtualenv and a requirements file. If you're using the RapidSMS project template, you can simply add the package (PyPI name or Git/Hr repo) to your requirements file and rerun the install with pip.

Picking up on this old thread... I'm just getting started using RapidSMS and have followed the recommended Django and Rapidsms tutorials. I am now trying to add the 'rapidsms-script' app to a new django project. 

I installed a RapidSMS project template in a virtualenv following the tutorial and now want to add the 'rapidsms-script' app. What's the best way to do this? How do I add the package to the requirements file (which text to input) since it has no PyPI package, but does have a setup.py file?

Sorry for what must be an obvious question - any help would be appreciated

Hi Jan,

Pip can install directly from a VCS: https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/#vcs-support. You can incorporate this directly into your requirements.txt file.

Hope that helps!

Hi Colin,

 

Thanks for the quick answer! That was really helpful and got me a few steps closer…

 

I’ve gotten stuck again now installing its dependencies; specifically code_generator which is giving me an importerror

 

  File "C:\DjangoProjects\rapidsms_sandbox\code_generator\fields.py", line 14, in <module>

    from code_generator import generate_code, get_code_from_model, increment_base_10

ImportError: cannot import name 'generate_code'

 

I’ll open a new thread for this though since it’s a different issue altogether.

 

Cheers,

 

Jan
