00 Installation Instructions
It is preferred that you install FALCO from GitHub so that you can most easily update the software package using git. The installation instructions are as follows:
-
Download and unzip the .zip file containing PROPER and its PDF manual from SourceForge. Follow the brief Python installation instructions in the PROPER manual.
-
Install FALCO. In a Unix/Linux terminal, clone the falco-python repo into the folder you want, and then create and checkout a new branch. The (unix, not DOS) command line commands to do so are below:
- >> cd folder_to_hold_falco
- >> git clone https://github.com/ajeldorado/falco-python.git
- >> git branch new-branch-name
- >> git checkout new-branch-name
- Add the
falco-python/folder to your PYTHONPATH. (In Linux, this might be in your ~/.profile file. On a Mac, it might be in your ~/.zshrc file. Google it to be sure. Make sure to log out and log back in after changing your profile settings file.)
Note: The pip install method is not preferred because it does not let you pull the most recent updates from GitHub and because it only install the FALCO library without any of the example scripts.
If you have pip installed, then you can use it to install falco-python with this command in a command-line terminal:
pip install pyfalco
If that is not feasible or does not work, then clone the falco-python repo to your computer, navigate to its folder, and then in a terminal command line type python3 setup.py install to install falco-python and its dependencies.
