@ -32,11 +32,16 @@ First, make sure the following dependencies are met:
|
||||
|
||||
1) Clone the repository: `git clone https://github.com/GLolol/PyLink && cd PyLink`
|
||||
|
||||
2) Install PyLink using `python3 setup.py install` (global install) or `python3 setup.py install --user` (local install)
|
||||
- Note: `--user` is a *literal* string; *do not* replace it with your username.
|
||||
2) Pick your branch.
|
||||
- By default you'll be on the **master** (stable) branch, which is bugfix only for the most part (except when a new stable release is introduced).
|
||||
- However, new features or more intensive bug fixes may not always be included. Instead, the **devel** (pre-release) branch is where active development goes, and it can be accessed by running `git checkout devel` in your Git tree.
|
||||
|
||||
### Installing via PyPI
|
||||
1) Make sure you're running the right pip command: on most distros, pip for Python3 uses the command `pip3`.
|
||||
3) Install PyLink using `python3 setup.py install` (global install) or `python3 setup.py install --user` (local install)
|
||||
- Note: `--user` is a *literal* string; *do not* replace it with your username.
|
||||
- **Whenever you switch branches or update PyLink's sources via `git pull`, you will need to re-run this command for changes to apply!**
|
||||
|
||||
### Installing via PyPI (stable branch only)
|
||||
1) Make sure you're running the right pip command: on most distros, pip for Python 3 uses the command `pip3`.
|
||||
|
||||
2) Run `pip3 install pylinkirc` to download and install PyLink. pip will automatically resolve dependencies.
