Install directions

This section covers the basics of how to download and install auTomo.

Installing from source (recommended)

Installing from source can be done easily by running the setup script:

git clone https://github.com/decarlof/automo.git automo
cd automo
python setup.py install

The script will ask whether you want to add a line in your .bashrc file so that bash will automatically add the macros folder in the Automo source directory to your $PATH variable. This is necessary if you would like to use the feature of calling Automo script directly from bash command line. If you prefer to have the scripts, the configuration file (automo.ini), and the parameter setting file (automo_params.csv) somewhere else, you need to manually copy them there. For example, to move the files to ~/.automo, follow the above commands by

mkdir ~/.automo
cp macros ~/.automo
export PATH=~/.automo:$PATH

Subsequently, add the last line export PATH=~/.automo:$PATH to your ~/.bashrc.

Installing from conda

auTomo has an conda install script that does all the job. Please follow the script:

git clone https://github.com/decarlof/automo.git automo
cd automo
conda build .
conda install --use-local automo
