| 8 | "The Enthought Python Distribution (EPD) provides scientists with a comprehensive set of tools to perform rigorous data analysis and visualization." |
|---|
| 9 | EPD includes a distribution of Python and a set of libraries for plots and data analysis. It is free for academics, and can be downloaded at: |
|---|
| 10 | |
|---|
| 11 | http://download.enthought.com/epd-7.1/ |
|---|
| 12 | |
|---|
| 13 | Different versions are available. |
|---|
| 14 | 64 bit version for linux: epd-7.1-2-rh5-x86_64.sh (recommended) |
|---|
| 15 | 32 bit version for linux is also available if the above fails: epd-7.1-2-rh5-x86.sh |
|---|
| 16 | 64 bit version for MacOSX has also been successfully tested: epd-7.1-2-macosx-x86_64.dmg |
|---|

| 18 | -------------------- |
|---|
| 19 | Step 2/- INSTALL EPD |
|---|
| 20 | -------------------- |
|---|
| 21 | |
|---|
| 22 | Simply put the .sh file you downloaded where you want to install python and run "bash epd-7.1-2-rh5-x86_64.sh" (or whatever version you got from the website) |
|---|
| 23 | |
|---|
| 24 | ------------------------- |
|---|
| 25 | Step 3/- SET ENVIRONNMENT |
|---|
| 26 | ------------------------- |
|---|
| 27 | |
|---|
| 28 | You must put the path to the /bin of EPD in your $PATH. For exemple, if EPD is installed in: |
|---|
| 29 | /u/bwhitelmd/san0/Python/64bits/epd-7.1-2-rh5-x86_64/ |
|---|
| 30 | |
|---|
| 31 | Then you must add to your $PATH in your .env_pers.ksh: |
|---|
| 32 | export PATH=/u/bwhitelmd/san0/Python/64bits/epd-7.1-2-rh5-x86_64/bin:$PATH |
|---|
| 33 | |
|---|
| 34 | Note that a version of python was probably already installed on your machine, in /usr/bin/. Make sure that "which python" gets you the correct path to EPD python after you sourced your .env_pers.ksh. |
|---|
| 35 | |
|---|
| 36 | LMD routines for python plots are on the svn repository in YOUR_SVN_INSTALL/trunk/UTIL/PYTHON/. You must declare the $PYTHONPATH environment variable to point to these routines. For example: |
|---|
| 37 | export PYTHONPATH=/san0/bwhitelmd/SVN/trunk/UTIL/PYTHON/ |
|---|
| 38 | |
|---|
| 39 | Finally, you might want to add $PYTHONPATH to your $PATH so that the main scripts can be called from anywhere in command line. |
