  • Hi, welcome.
    
    This Python package uses aksetup for installation, which means that
    installation should be easy and quick.
    
    If you don't want to continue reading, just try the regular
    
      ./configure.py --help
      ./configure.py --some-options
      make
      sudo make install
    
    That should do the trick. (By the way: If a config option says "several ok",
    then you may specify several values, separated by commas.)
    
    aksetup also supports regular distutils installation, without using 
    configure:
    
      python setup.py build
      sudo python setup.py install
    
    In this case, configuration is obtained from files in this order:
    
    /etc/aksetup-defaults.py
    $HOME/.aksetup-defaults.py
    $PACKAGEDIR/siteconf.py
    
    Once you've run configure, you can copy options from your siteconf.py file to
    one of these files, and you won't ever have to configure them again manually.
    In fact, you may pass the options "--update-user" and "--update-global" to
    configure, and it will automatically update these files for you.
    
    This is particularly handy if you want to perform an unattended or automatic
    installation via easy_install.
