Preparation

Installing RST

There are currently two ways to install the 0.8 version of RST:

  • From source
  • Debian Packages

From Source

  1. The whole source tree of RST, included all sub-projects, can be obtained from the repository located at:

    $ git clone -b 0.8 --recursive https://code.cor-lab.org/git/rst.git
    
  2. After that, RST can be built and installed like this:

    $ mkdir -p build && cd build
    $ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debug -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX= PREFIX ..
    $ make
    $ make install
    

    where PREFIX is the desired install prefix.

Note

To use the resulting RST installation in Python programs, the PYTHONPATH environment variable has to contain the site-packages directory of the installation prefix, e.g.:

/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages

when installing to prefix /usr/local/.

Debian Packages

Debian packages for several versions of Ubuntu GNU/Linux are available from the CoR-Lab package repository. The following repository source line has to be added to /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://packages.cor-lab.de/ubuntu/ RELEASENAME testing

where RELEASENAME is the appropriate Ubuntu release name.

Warning

This installation method only works with Ubuntu GNU/Linux.
