TMDA Installation

Installation from gzipped tarball

Choose an installation location which can either be an individual area (such as within your home directory), or a shared area (such as /usr/local) for system-wide use, and change to that directory.

  1. Unpack the TMDA distribution.
    
    # gunzip -c tmda-0.01.tgz | tar xvf -
    
    
  2. If this is a system-wide install, run the compileall script to byte-compile all the .py files. Byte-compilation is optional, but will speed TMDA's start-up time. This will be done automatically by Python if you have write permissions in the installation directory, which is why it's not necessary for individual installs.
    
    # cd tmda-0.01
    # ./compileall
    
    
Installation from Linux RPMs

If you are running Linux, you may wish to install TMDA via RPM instead. A binary RPM can be built and installed directly from the source tarball:

# rpm -tb tmda-0.01.tgz 
# rpm -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/noarch/tmda-0.01-1.noarch.rpm

Post-Installation

Report your installation (used only to satisfy my curiosity):
# ( python -c 'from TMDA.Version import *; print ALL' ) \
  | mail jason-tmdausage@mastaler.com
Then proceed to the Configuration section.
