Using the standard ez_alea_setup.py script, we added functionalities to install OpenAlea/VisuAlea as a non-root user following instructions found in the setuptools pages (.pydistutils.cfg configuration file).
This section provides a step-by-step instructions for installing OpenAlea and Visualea and several dependencies when you do not have the root permission on your system.
This solution has been tested on a Fedora Core 10 and Ubuntu 8.10 distributions.
rm ~/.openalea.sh rm ~/.pydistutils.cfg
If you already installed and launch VisuAlea, you also have a directory called ~/.openalea . There is no need to delete this directory (where you may have done some developments)
We suppose that you have a bash shell.
cd export OPENALEA_HOME=$HOME/devlp mkdir $OPENALEA_HOME python ~/ez_alea_setup.py --install-dir $OPENALEA_HOME
The installation process can take a long time depending of your network connection (between 5 and 15 minutes). Please be patient !
http_proxy
environment variable to your proxy server.
export OPENALEA_HOME=$HOME/devlp export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:$OPENALEA_HOME/lib:$OPENALEA_HOME/ alias visualea='$OPENALEA_HOME/bin/visualea'
visualea
The main difference with a standard (root) installation is that you provide an argument followed by the directory where you want to install the packages.
