An installing problem for a new user

Asked by Lou Jichao

Hi,
I am a new user, I have installed python-escript_5.2.tar.gz on ubuntu16.4 as the install guide with no problem
"sudo apt-get install python-dev python-numpy libboost-python-dev
sudo apt-get install libnetcdf-cxx-legacy-dev libnetcdf-c++4-dev
sudo apt-get install libnetcdf-dev libboost-random-dev
sudo apt-get install scons lsb-release
sudo apt-get install python-sympy python-matplotlib python-scipy
sudo apt-get install python-pyproj python-gdal gmsh"
And I execute:"scons -j1 options_file=scons/templates/xenial_options.py"
scons: Reading SConscript files ...

See install.pdf, Chapter 2.4
"You can run escript using path_to_escript_files/bin/run-escript.
Where path_to_escript_files is replaced with the real path."

see a snippet from your build log:

scons: Building targets ...
/home/ljc/escript/src/bin/run-escript /home/ljc/escript/src/build/scripts/release_sanity.py
scons: done building targets.

run-escript seems to be located in /home/ljc/escript/src/bin, so you can start it by using

~/escript/src/bin/run-escript

And what should I do, if I want to use the "python example01a.py"?

To run escript on a file, type

~/escript/src/bin/run-escript [file]

where [file] tells escript where the file is located. For example, if you wish to run on example01a.py, you can type:

~/escript/src/bin/run-escript ~/escript/src/doc/examples/cookbook/example01a.py
