esys-escript

start run-escript

Asked by Weimin Song

Dear all,

I installed the esys-escript, and in the fold 'bin', the document 'run-escript' and 'runmodel.py' were generated after the installation. I could run esys-escript in folder 'bin' by coding './run-escript', but I can not use the command 'run-escript' to do the running.

Should I make a set in the PATH or make a soft linking?

Your help will be greatly appreciated!!!

I wrote a shell:

#!/bin/bash
/home/ubuntu/escript/run-escript

Then I put this file in the /usr/bin. And then the it seems 'run-escript' works, however, adding the python file after 'run-escript' ('run-escript myscript.py') does not give response, just the following information:

Python 2.7.11+ (default, Apr 17 2016, 14:00:29)
[GCC 5.3.1 20160413] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

It is so strange and difficult to figure it out!!!

This won't work because you are not passing the script parameters through to run-escript.
You could fix this, but it might be simpler just to add the following line to your ~/.bashrc

export PATH=$PATH:/home/ubuntu/escript
