Installation

Install dependencies

There is more than one way to do this:

In Debian/Ubuntu with root access

$ sudo apt-get install python-sqlalchemy python-pyparsing python-feedparser python-sqlite

With easy_install

If you have root access, then you can do:

$ sudo easy_install feedparser pyparsing pysqlite SQLAlchemy

If you haven’t, make sure you set a valid –install-dir which is also in your PYTHONPATH:

$ easy_install –install-dir=$HOME/lib/python feedparser pyparsing pysqlite SQLAlchemy

Manual installation

Visit each website and follow their instructions to install the software:

• http://www.sqlalchemy.org/

• http://code.google.com/p/pysqlite/

• http://pyparsing.wikispaces.com/

• http://www.feedparser.org/

Leolo installation

First, download the source code from the official page: http://github.com/Menda/Leolo

$ sudo python setup.py install

or

$ python setup.py install –home=$HOME

If installation was successful, configure the ‘’settings.py’’ file.

Uninstalling Leolo

Unfortunatelly, there isn’t a ‘’python setup.py uninstall’’, you have to do it manually.

Go to the place where you installed the application - e.g. $HOME/lib/python - and delete the .egg file(s) and the line which points at it in ‘’easy-install.pth’’.

Usage
