QAL Files

Installation intructions
========================

UBUNTU/DEBIAN:
--------------


From launchpad.net PPA in Ubuntu:
.................................

Execute the following commands:

# sudo apt-add-repository ppa:nicklasb/qal
# sudo apt-get update
# sudo apt-get install python3-qal


From launchpad.net PPA in Debian(Jessie and onward):
.................................................

Add the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list. The wildcard is there as the there are no matching distro names in
launchpad.net, this way it takes what it gets. It is the same package anyway.

First, using a privileged user, add this to /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/nicklasb/qal/ubuntu * main

Then execute these commands:

# apt-get update
# apt-get install python3-qal

Notes for Debian:
1. the root user can be replaced by any other sufficiently privileged user
2. there is a non-standard unicode character in the maintainer's name, this *might* cause problems if you have an old locale.

LANG=C.UTF-8

...might help, read this first though: http://askubuntu.com/questions/393638/unicodedecodeerror-ascii-codec-cant-decode-byte-0x-in-position-ordinal-n


*Without* launchpad.net PPA in either distribution:
...................................................


gdebi is recommended*, to install gdebi, use:
# sudo apt-get install gdebi

Install package, available for download above:
# sudo gdebi python3-qal_0.4.0_all.deb


* On a tight system, gdebi can be considered a bit bulky. However, QAL itself is among other things a Python 3-based data mining library and therefore(currently at least) requires a lot of libraries. If you have severe constraints it is perhaps not the optimal solution.


Using pip:
..........

# pip3 install python3-qal


WINDOWS:
--------

Installation instructions for Windows:
The pip tool is included in Python 3.4 and forwards.

# pip3 install python3-qal

ALL:
----
Unit tests are not included in the .deb-package, for that, install the .egg:
# pip3 install python3-qal
or clone the source:
# git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/qal/code qal-code
