Hi,

On the install page of the documentation  http://docs.sympy.org/0.7.2/install.html#git , it talks about

If you want to install SymPy, but still want to use the git version, you can run from your repository:

$ setup.py develop

But, at least when I try it, setup.py it complains of an 'invalid command'.  Am I doing something wrong here?

            Thanks

Greeting!

Thanks.  But that is what I tried?

python setup.py develop
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: invalid command 'develop'

This is the setup.py in the top-level sympy directory (next to .git, setupupegg.py ...)

I was guessing it is a documentation issue.  (Or an error on my part, of course.)

This is Linux, Python 2.7.3.

Thank You.

The docs are wrong, you should do:

python setupegg.py develop

You might need sudo python setupegg.py develop if you are not already root.

Great.

I first had to install  setuptools, but then this worked fine.  (At least on Linux.  I haven't tried Windows or Mac.)

I was going to put in a change to the doc, but I see someone has already beaten me to it -- thanks.

Just so I am clear on the concept -

After doing this you can just do

         python setup.py build

but no need to do

        python setup.py install

And thus save time and a little disk space.  In fact, I would guess that in many cases you could even skip the build step.

Many thanks.

You can always skip the build step.
