Pyre Installation

Users should begin by following the common installation instructions before proceeding to the Pyre’s specific instructions below.

Python packages

Use the latest 64-bit version of packages unless otherwise specified

Installing Pyre package

From the Python scripts directory use pip to install pyre directly from github:

pip install git+https://github.com/nornir/nornir-pyre.git

For reasons uninvestigated Pip can fail to install other nornir packages. If this occurs one can create an empty directory, clone the repository into it, and use python setup:

git clone https://github.com/nornir/nornir-pyre.git
python setup.py install

Pyre on the Mac

X11 is required and is available from ‘XQuartz’_

Users have had trouble getting Pyre running on the Mac. Some have no trouble and others spend a lot of time fighting the wxPython library. The problem is not well investigated so if a solution is found please E-mail so we can document.

Launching Pyre

Once installed pyre creates a python script for launching pyre and well as some executable shortcuts. The current practice is to launch from the Python scripts directory:

python start_pyre.py

If that fails download the source to a directory using git clone https://github.com/jamesra/nornir-pyre.git command, change to the directory that command creates, and then run start pyre:

python scripts/start_pyre.py
