Installation

The etrsitrs package uses the standard Python distutils for building and installation. The package is written in Python version 2. Use:

user@host: ~/etrs-itrs/$ python2 setup.py install

for a default installation. Although on most systems as of 2012, python 2 is the default Python interpreter, use the python2 interpreter explicitly to ensure you don’t accidentally use python version 3 on systems that have a dual Python installation. Use --prefix to install at an alternative location, for example:

user@host: ~/etrs-itrs/$ python2 setup.py install --prefix=/opt/python

setup.py help
