Installation:

The instructions may vary in the different OS.

Under Linux

We recommend you to create a folder under /var owned by the current user. For instance: # You will need superuser privileges to create this folder sudo mkdir /var/i3visio # You will need to change the owner to your user to work with it safely # If your user was alice sudo chown alice:alice /var/i3visio

The rest of the installation under Python 2.7 is as follows: # Navigate to the destiny's folder cd /var/i3visio # Cloning the repository git clone http://github.com/i3visio/entify entify-master cd entify-master or # Navigate to the destiny's folder cd /var/i3visio # Download wget http://github.com/i3visio/entify/archive/master.zip # Unzip unzip entify-master.zip cd entify-master Then you can proceed to the installation. # Superuser privileges are required so as to complete the installation. sudo python setup.py build sudo python setup.py install Afterwards, the module will be importable from any python code. You can check this by typing: python -c "import entify" If no error is displayed, the installation would have been performed correctly.
