Installation

Starting with pyWM 0.99b, installation is accomplished via a Python script.

A note about upgrading...

You need to uninstall your old version of pyWM before you install the new one. Remember, uninstallations are done via the same setup directory that you made the original installation with.

Onward...

When you first retrieve the package, decompress it:

$ gunzip pyWM-X.XX.tar.gz
$ tar xvf pyWM-X.XX.tar

Then, go into the setup directory and execute "install.py" as root:

$ cd pyWM-X.XX/setup/
$ su
<password>
# ./install.py

Please note that the install.py script depends on having a recently updated locate database. If the script seems to be having a hard time finding certain things, update your database. See

$ man locate

Keep your setup directory around!

Further configuration, additional installations, and uninstallations are all automated via the setup directory. Make sure you keep it on disk somewhere for future use.

You can install and configure many different pyWM locations with the same setup directory.
