Setting up ObsPy via Subversion and python setup.py develop

All following commands must be executed from the Linux/Windows command line (not from inside ipython or python). Checkout the Subversion trunk (do not checkout the branches or tags, use svn switch to change to them):

svn checkout https://svn.obspy.org/trunk obspy-trunk

All ObsPy packages can now be linked to your easy-install.pth file located in the site-packages directory of your Python/virtual Python installation by running in all trunk directories:

python setup.py develop -N -U

As this is quite a workout we provide a script doing this in the misc directory.

cd obspy-svn/misc/scripts
bash develop.sh

(On windows replace slashes by backslashes and use the develop25.bat / develop26.bat script).

If you are unable to install as administrator/root, you may also setup your own virtual python environment  read more ....
