• New XRootD client + development headers

  • xrootd-cl, xrootd-cl-devel packages

If you just want to install via RPM, we build one incrementally using TeamCity. You can get it here. Once you've done that, you're done - you don't need to follow any of the rest of the instructions here.

Clone the repository:

$ git clone git://github.com/jussy/pyxrootd.git

If you have obtained a copy of pyxrootd yourself use the setup.py script to install.

To install in your home directory:

$ python setup.py install --user

To install system-wide (requires root privileges):

$ sudo python setup.py install

If you installed pyxrootd into your home directory with the --user option above, add ${HOME}/.local/bin to your ${PATH} if it is not there already (put this in your .bashrc):

$ export PATH=${HOME}/.local/bin${PATH:+:$PATH}

Testing requires the pytest package. Once pyxrootd is installed, it may be tested (from inside the source directory) by running:

$ py.test
