2. Installing SciParam

2.1 Requirements

Python from http://python.org/

Tested with version 2.1 and 2.2, but should work with newer versions.

wxPython from http://wxPython.org/

Tested with version 2.2.9 and current 2.4.0 branch.
Later versions of SciParam may require at least wxPython 2.4 branch.

2.2 Installation

To install SciParam, just make sure the SciParam-1.0.1 directory is in the PYTHONPATH environment variable. For example, if you extracted SciParam-1.0.1.tar.bz2 or
SciParam-1.0.1.zip to /home/fred/, then you would have something like:

export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/home/fred/SciParam-1.0.1/

in your ~/.bash_profile, etc.

If you use Windows NT, 2000, or XP, then set your environment variables by right-clicking on My Computer and selecting Properties. If you use some other version of windows, you'll need to set the variable at a command prompt, or in autoexec.bat, with the 'set' command.

If you'd like to install SciParam system-wide on your machine and into the default PYTHONPATH, you can use setup.py to do so:

# python ./setup.py install

Be sure to run setup.py with appropriate privileges (root under Unix).

For Windows there is a self-installing package: ``SciParam-1.0.1.win32.exe''
