Before Building the Farmpedia
-----------------------------

You will need to follow the following steps to setup farmpedia:
1. Install all the prerequisite libraries on your development environment.
2. Download and extract the source code into a specific directory and set
   the FARMPEDIA_ROOT environment variable to point to the root folder
   that will be used as a workspace to generate your encyclopedia. Also
   setup FARMPEDIA_CONFIG to point to a directory containing the 
   configuration file farmpedia.ini.
3. Setup python environment variable to point to the farmpedia modules.
   Assuming that your code is extracted to E:\farmpedia, to do this set 
   the path variable(on windows) to something like the following:

     PYTHONPATH=E:\farmpedia\code\utilities;E:\farmpedia\code\components;E:\farmpedia\code\webservices
         
4. Setup a sample configuration file. A sample version is available 
   in config/farmpedia.ini. All applications will look for this file
   in the current path using the PATH environment variable, by default. 
   Optionally, all applications will accept the path of this file as a
   command line argument.
5. Customize the directories or settings in farmpedia.ini for each run.
