## Installation

If you just want to run the package without prior installation, run:

git clone https://github.com/cadesalaberry/minervashadow.git
python minervashadow


### Simple

pip install minervashadow

Or

easy_install minervashadow


### Advanced

If you prefer not to use Pypi, or want to get the latest cutting-edge version, you can pull directly from github:

pip install git+https://github.com/cadesalaberry/minervashadow

Or you can use the makefile included in the repository, provided you already have git installed:

git clone https://github.com/cadesalaberry/minervashadow.git
cd minervashadow
make

And you are good to go !


### Uninstallation

To remove the package, just run:

pip uninstall minervashadow

Or

make uninstall

Depending on how you installed it.


### SOCS Server bug

If you want to install minervashadow on your SOCS server, you might run into the same issues I did, providing we don't have root privileges. In order to solve it, I just had to modify my **~/.bashrc** file to look like this:

# .bashrc

# Source global definitions
if [ -f /usr/socs/Profile ]; then
. /usr/socs/Profile
fi

# User specific aliases and functions
export PYTHONPATH=$HOME/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH
export PATH=$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH


The two last lines are the most important.


## Contribute

To contribute do not hesitate to send me pull requests ! However when doing so, make sure you modify the less code possible, or the request would not be clear.


## Future

The future of this package is uncertain for now, but here is the planning I had for it on the short term if you are interested:
