Installing gslconsts

First ensure that you have pip installed on your system by typing (at the command line prompt $):

$ pip --help

If this command does not return a proper usage statement, install pip according to the instructions at the pip website. Note that with python version 3, you may have pip3 instead of pip.

With pip installed, you may now use it to install gslconsts by typing:

$ pip install gslconsts

If the installation fails, you may need to install with root privileges using sudo:

$ sudo pip install gslconsts

Alternatively, you can just install for yourself with the --user option:

$ pip install gslconsts --user

If you have previously installed gslconsts and want to upgrade, type:

$ pip install --upgrade gslconsts

To test that gslconsts has installed correctly, type:

$ pip show gslconsts

which should return information about the package. To check that the package is in place, open python by typing:

$ python

or, perhaps for version 3:

$ python3

and try importing gslconsts by typing at the python prompt:

>>> import gslconsts

This command should simply return. Of course, to exit python, type:

>>> exit()
