Checkout from the source

First, make sure you have bazaar. On Ubuntu or Debian:

1. sudo apt-get update

2. sudo apt-get install bzr

Then:

1. Start in your home directory: cd ~

2. Create a Projects directory: mkdir Projects

3. Change to the Projects directory: cd Projects/

4. Check out the gasp source code from the bzr repository on launchpad:

   •      bzr branch http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~gasp-dev/gasp/gasp-dev

5. Return to your home directory: cd ~

6. Make a lib/python directory in your home directory for your own python libraries:

      mkdir lib
      mkdir lib/python

7. Add PYTHONPATH to ~/.bashrc:
   • vi ~/.bashrc

   • add the following lines to the bottom of the file:

     PYTHONPATH=$HOME/lib/python
     export PYTHONPATH

8. Now make a symlink from lib/python to the gasp source code:

   • cd lib/python

   • ln -s ~/Projects/gasp-dev/gasp gasp

Update GASP

To update GASP:

cd ~/Projects/gasp-dev
bzr pull
