The default Python path in Ubuntu #9

Closed blucap closed 7 years ago

blucap commented 8 years ago

I would like to use bibulous, however the documentation nowhere shows where the bibulous.py file is.

I ran the pip command, and it confirms: Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): bibulous in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages

However, after running find and whereis, nothing shows up for bibulous.py.

I run Linux Mint 17.2

Please advise,

Martien

Martien,

Did you try running "updatedb" as root and then "locate bibulous.py"?

One easy thing to do, if you want to just try Bibulous, is to go to the website and download just the bibulous.py file, and save it to the folder where you are doing your TEX file processing. Then there should be no issues with the path. I am planning to update the "pip" install package, but just finished moving my home internationally, and so life is a mess until things settle down. I hope this helps!

Martien,

From the Python documentation, it appears that it should put the files in

lib/python2.7/site-packages/bibulous/

Glad to hear it's working. And if you're interested in working on the project, I'm definitely glad to welcome others to join. There are probably a bunch of small items to fix, since only a few people have tried it out enough so far to contact me about outstanding issues. If you've cloned the project files already, then you're only a short step away from modifying the code....

Fixing the setup.py file fixed the issue with the bibulous install. Now closing the issue.
