This is my personal python library and contains functions that I've developed, borrowed, or wrapped for my personal use.

Follow these steps to install this library. Additional details are below.

1. Make sure the MDSplus library is installed and in the python path.
2. Clone this (johnspythonlibarary2) library. Make sure its directory is in the PYTHONPATH environment variable.
3. (Optional) To use the Hbtep sublibrary, you must copy Readwrite/_settingsTemplate.py, save it as ReadWrite/_settings.py, and fill in the variables.
4. (Optional) To store (mostly Hbtep) data locally on your machine, copy Hbtep/Get/_settingsTemplate.py, save it as Hbtep/Get/_settings.py, and fill in the variables.

Note that these are the steps that I used. Check the website to make sure you use the latest and most relevant commands.

apt-get -y install curl gnupg && curl -fsSL http://www.mdsplus.org/dist/mdsplus.gpg.key | apt-key add -

sudo sh -c "echo 'deb http://www.mdsplus.org/dist/Ubuntu18/repo MDSplus stable' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mdsplus.list"

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install mdsplus-python

sudo apt-get upgrade "mdsplus*"

Follow the steps here: Ref. 1

If using virtualenv, these steps need to be modified as shown here: Ref. 2

Within your virtualenv, do the following:

• mkdir $VIRTUAL_ENV/src
• mkdir $VIRTUAL_ENV/src/python-mdsplus
• cp -rp /usr/local/mdsplus/python/MDSplus $VIRTUAL_ENV/src/python-mdsplus
• python $VIRTUAL_ENV/src/python-mdsplus/./setup.py install
