install tips. READ THIS!

The prefered method for installing Epigrass is form the tar.gz package using the command:

python setup.py install

the reason for this is that the setup.py will take care of creatng the database table needed for epigrass to run.

The Egg distribution can be a good option if you already have your epigrass database created. The egg distribution does not put the help files under /usr/share/epigrass. This means that you won't be able o open the help from the gui. This can be fixed by moving the PDF manualy to the correct directory.

the gentoo e-build is equivalent to the setup.py installation.

have fun!
