how to run examples from a terminal

1.) you do not have start python before executing yade, so

yade-0.60.3 mill.py

will be enough.

2.) if you are in the folder /home/kinn/YADE/bin and you want to run mill.py, there are two ways:

- copy mill.py to /home/kinn/YADE/bin and use the command above
- OR cd to the folder, where mill.py is and use following command:

/home/kinn/YADE/bin/yade-0.60.3 mill.py

Hello,

If you still face problems, it could be useful you give a look at previous question https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/152906

Thank you, Christian. But I find it still can't run regularly.

I copy mill.py to /home/kinn/YADE/bin and use the command you said.

kinn@kinn-desktop:~$ cd /home/kinn/YADE/bin
kinn@kinn-desktop:~/YADE/bin$ python mill.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "mill.py", line 11, in <module>
    from yade import pack
ImportError: No module named yade

No, I said:

yade-0.60.3 mill.py

NOT

python mill.py

In general the structure of terminal commands is:

/PATH/TO/EXECUTABLE/executable /PATH/TO/SCRIPT/script.py

Good luck.

Thanks for jduriez's advice and Christian's patience.

I modify my scons-profile.. file on my yade/ folder and specify as a feature qt4. Just add the line:features='qt4'
Then I run the examples.

kinn@kinn-desktop:~/YADE/bin$ yade-0.60.3 mill.py

Then it works.But when I run the example of funnel.py,there are other problems.

kinn@kinn-desktop:~/YADE/bin$ python yade-0.60.3 funnel.py
