Installation¶
Dependencies¶
If you want to export your calculations to a TeX report and be able to automatically typeset the pdf you should have a TeX distribution installed. If you don’t know what TeX is TUG (TeX Users Group) is a good place to start.
Installing from source¶
Currently the preferred way is to install the package from source and manually setup the link and/or shortcuts if you want an launcher on you desktop.
You can either download the code from the repository and run:
[sudo] pip install batchcalc-x.x.x.tgz
or:
[sudo] easy_install batchcalc-x.x.x.tgz
or clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/lmmentel/batchcalculator.git
pull the latest version and update:
git pull
then cd to the package directory and run:
[sudo] python setup.py install
If the installation finishes without errors you should be able to start the GUI from the command line by typing:
$ zbc
