install without admin rights


Hi,

I am very interested in my work to switch from Matlab to Numpy.  However,
I want to test some algorithms first.
I tried to install NumPy on one of our corporate servers.  However, I do
not have root access, so i did following:

tar -xvzf numpy-1.2.0.tar.gz   [OK]
cd numpy-1.2.0
python setup.py build   [OK]
set PYTHONPATH=$HOME/pythonlib
mv numpy ~/pythonlib
python
import numpy   [ FAILS!]

Could you tell me how I can install NumPy on my local account, (without
admin rights) ?

Thanks,

Roeland.

Re: install without admin rights

python setup.py install --prefix=$HOME/local/lib
set PYTHONPATH=$HOME/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages

and you're good to go. This is how I install everything and it's been
working for several years now ;)

python setup.py install --prefix=${HOME}

export PYTHONPATH=${HOME}/lib/python2.5/site-packages

Thanks!

Unfortunately, I got following error:

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I have python 2.3 installed on the server.

Thanks,

Hi again,

That's because Python 2.3 is not supported by numpy 1.2 anymore (see
the release notes) :|
Try installing a Python 2.5 locally, as with numpy.

Alternatively, you can install numpy 1.1.x (numpy 1.1* still support
python 2.3).
