Setting up the environment

This tutorial will walk you through installing the acitoolkit using the sources so that you will be able to edit the samples and even the acitoolkit source code if so desired.

Download

First, we must download the acitoolkit. This is best done using git, but can be done by downloading the package as a zip.

If you have git installed, clone the repository using the following command:

git clone https://github.com/datacenter/acitoolkit.git

If git is not installed, you can download the acitoolkit as a zip file instead.:

wget https://github.com/datacenter/acitoolkit/archive/master.zip
unzip master.zip

Install

Note

The directory may be named acitoolkit-master if downloaded as a zip file.

Next, cd into the created directory

cd acitoolkit

and install the acitoolkit

python setup.py install

Note that when installing on Mac or Linux, you will likely need to run this as administrator so preface the command with the sudo keyword as follows:

sudo python setup.py install
