cannot install on ubuntu 16.04

[MogicianWu]

Hi I'm trying to use this tool to install Boost.python from https://github.com/boostorg/python.git commit number bd7b8ecba5c211c3361c4a9af82a7a527bed384e.

After I cloned from this repo and ran python setup.py build

I ran py.test test to check the installation. I got the following error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/_pytest/config.py", line 319, in _importconftest mod = conftestpath.pyimport() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/py/_path/local.py", line 650, in pyimport __import__(modname) File "/home/mogicican/Downloads/faber/tests/conftest.py", line 10, in <module> from faber import scheduler ImportError: No module named faber ERROR: could not load /home/mogicican/Downloads/faber/tests/conftest.py

@MogicianWu , @g4nym3de , @Alan-Penkar , if all you did is running python setup.py build, you haven't installed faber yet, so it's normal that Python can't find the package. To install you have to run python setup.py install (possibly using the --prefix option to specify the install location. If you do not want to install faber properly and still test / use it you have to set the PYTHONPATH environment variable to point to your build tree (something like pwd/build/lib.linux-x86_6-2.7/ or similar).

The instruction on how to build & test with and without installation should go to README :-)

~/faber$ lsb_release -d
Description:    Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS
~/faber$ sudo apt install python3 libpython3-dev python3-pytest
~/faber$ python3 setup.py build
~/faber$ export PYTHONPATH=$PWD/build/lib.linux-x86_64-3.6
~/faber$ python3 -c "import faber; print(faber.__path__)"
['/home/mloskot/faber/build/lib.linux-x86_64-3.6/faber']
~/faber$ pytest-3 tests

[stefanseefeld]

I agree !

[stefanseefeld]

I have adjusted the README, and refined the wiki a bit (notably https://github.com/stefanseefeld/faber/wiki/Getting-Started%3A-Building-Faber). Please help me adding relevant information there. Meanwhile, I'm going to close this issue.
