Linux distributions

Debian

Add the following line in /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://debian.weboob.org unstable main

Then, update the repositories and install the keyring:

# aptitude update
# aptitude install debian-symlink-keyring
# aptitude update

You can now install applications, for example:

# aptitude install videoob

Installation instructions

Like any Python package using setuptools, Weboob can be installed in install mode or in development mode.

Install mode

The install mode copies files to the Python system-wide packages directory (for example /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages for Python 2.5, or /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages for Python 2.6)

# ./setup.py install

Scripts are copied to /usr/bin.

Since there are many dependencies, when you install from sources, you have to handle them by hand, according to your distribution. If you still want to download them, you can uncomment the dependencies in setup.py

To uninstall, remove the egg-info from the Python system-wide packages directory and remove the weboob_dev line in easy-install.pth.

Development mode

The development mode doesn't copy files, but creates an egg-link in the Python system-wide packages directory which points to the development directory. It is useful for development when files often change.

# ./setup.py develop

It is possible to install in a specific directory, and it does not need root privileges. For instance:

$ mkdir ~/mydir
$ PYTHONPATH=~/mydir ./setup.py develop --install-dir ~/mydir

Scripts are copied to /usr/bin too.

To uninstall, remove the egg-link from the Python system-wide packages directory and remove the “weboob_dev” line in easy-install.pth.
