[Avocado-devel] issues about install avocado-vt

[Lukáš Doktor]

Hello guys,

thank you for great answers, in deed we forgot to put source code 
install section in 
http://avocado-vt.readthedocs.org/en/latest/GetStartedGuide.html I added 
it to our TODO list.

We do provide some convenience methods to simplify running from sources:

0. Install non-python dependencies listed in documentation
1. From one directory clone avocado and avocado-vt (so the result of `ls 
$TARGET_DIR` are 2 files: `avocado` and `avocado-vt`).
2. Install python dependencies by `make requirements` (optionally `make 
requirements-selftests`) in both directories
3. In `$TARGET_DIR/avocado` run `make link` which walks the `../*` 
directories and registers the avocado plugins for this user.

You only need to do this once, then you can modify the code and it'll 
still run the latest version (it creates something-like-symlinks to the 
sources for this user). You need to run the `make link` when new targets 
are added, but this only happens once in a while (eg. new plugin is added)

Alternatively you can always install it system-wide by `make install` in 
each directory, but that install the current version so you need to 
re-install it each time you change the sources.

Kind regards,
Lukáš

For development `--user` is strongly recommended. It creates egg-links 
to those libraries only for this user.
