motu-client not available in PATH after installation #10

Closed fox91 closed 6 years ago

fox91 commented 6 years ago

Why should I use this command:

python <PATH_TO_MOTUCLIENT_DIR>/motu-client.py [OPTIONS]
# example:
python /tmp/ENV_MOTU/lib/python3.5/site-packages/motu-client.py [OPTIONS]

when I could simply use this?

motu-client [OPTIONS]

Hi,

In fact it depends on the manner you have installed.

Best way: https://github.com/clstoulouse/motu-client-python#UsagePIP

python -m motu-client -h

Alternative https://github.com/clstoulouse/motu-client-python#usage-from-targz-installation You have to be in the folder where Motu has been extracted.

Regards, Sylvain

@clstoulouse my solution could be acceptable?

bakhansen commented 6 years ago

@fox91 you could also add it to your path:

export PATH="$PATH:/path/to/motu-client-python"

after which you can execute motu-client.py [options]

@fox91 Yes it is, we will merge your PR soon...

@bakhansen Great tips !

Dear all,

I have merged the PR11, so this issue is fixed in Motu v1.8.1. Thanks a lot for your feedbacks.

Enjoy Motu !
