Installtion in a shared server

[jiju]

Hi,

I have installed sympi in my local machine by downloading the latest release (tar.gz) from https://github.com/sympy/sympy/releases , decompressing and using the command

python setup.py install.

However, is this possible to install in a shared server where i do not have access to the command prompt and the installation directory?

Thanks

If you have a server, you can simply install SymPy as a system wide install so that all users logged into the server have access to the program. How would you not have access to a command prompt on a shared server? Even if you can't open a terminal then I suppose you can open a program like IDLE or any other IDE that runs python.

What operating system is it and do you have shell access, GUI access, or both?

How do you interact with Python in this server?

You can install Anaconda https://store.continuum.io/cshop/anaconda/ on the server. It includes SymPy, and does not require root access to install.

I don't know how to help you then. It doesn't sound like you have enough access to do anything useful. FTP access really only let's you upload and download files.

If you are talking about an interface such as cPanel or something, you should be able to have SSH access to your server. You can't install it without using a terminal or a GUI tool.

If you were only concerned about the "root access", I suppose Aaron has answered it.

Thanks a lot  Aaron Meurer and others for the kind suggestions. Going with Anaconda was an excellent option.

However I managed to solve the issue and got it running without root access.

There was no installation needed. Installtion is required only If we want SymPy to be available globally.

I just uploaded the sympy folder and able to run sympy using the ./bin/isympy option.

Thanks again to all of you for the valuable time and suggestions
