Installing vitrualenv and pip on the HPCVL
This article assumes you have a properly installed version of Python. If you're using the HPCVL and haven't installed your own version, then chances are you're using their broken one. I wrote some instructions for getting your own installation of python going on the HPCVL here.
Get virtualenv[edit | edit source]
Copy the link to the source from the pypi page. At the time of writing it's at version 0.8. Here's the link I found to the source:
http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/v/virtualenv/virtualenv-1.7.2.tar.gz#md5=b5d63b05373a4344ae099a68875aae78
Log into the HPCVL create a working directory
mkdir ve-working cd ve-working
Grab virtualenv.
wget http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/v/virtualenv/virtualenv-1.7.2.tar.gz#md5=b5d63b05373a4344ae099a68875aae78
Decompress
gunzip virtualenv-1.7.2.tar.gz tar xf virtualenv-1.7.2.tar
Installing[edit | edit source]
cd virtualenv-1.7.2 python setup.py install
Test It[edit | edit source]
cd ~/ virtualenv myenv
I got an error. Damn.
To be continued.
