Installation¶
Stable release¶
To install Yarely, run this command in your terminal:
$ pip install yarely
This is the preferred method to install Yarely, as it will always install the most recent stable release.
If you don’t have pip installed, this Python installation guide can guide you through the process.
From sources¶
The sources for Yarely can be downloaded from the Github repo.
You can either clone the public repository:
$ git clone git://github.com/opendisplays/yarely
Or download the tarball:
$ curl -OL https://github.com/opendisplays/yarely/tarball/master
Once you have a copy of the source, you can install it with:
$ python setup.py install
Keeping Yarely up to date¶
The suggested way for keeping Yarely up to date is to download the latest stable from PyPI on a regular basis.
If you wish to update from a Yarely fork that, for example, is hosted on GitHub, you could add the following line into a shell script:
$ pdnet$ pip3 install --upgrade -e git+https://github.com/opendisplays/yarely.git@master#egg=yarely --src ~/proj
In this case, we install Yarely from the masters branch into the proj directory in the user’s home directory.
