Having nettacker in the PATH #526
Comments
if the user wants it they can cd and install it right? why do you think we need to mention change directory command explicitly? |
It’s good to propose a standard place, Such that we can say: “the regular installation directory for nettacker is /opt/nettacker”. And a symlink in the path is generally created. Now, there is absolutely no rules about it. It’s really just about having a symlink in the PATH… |
This could also be done by packaging nettacker with a setup.py. |
@dhirensr do you think it would be possible to package nettacker such that we can have an entrypoint in the PATH ? Thanks |
Right now the issue is that the installation directory is totally arbitrary and the install instructions doesn't prescribe to create a symlink in a directory that is accessible in the PATH.
I'de propose to add the required steps in the installation docs such that Nettacker would be installed in
/opt/Nettacker/
and a symlink/usr/local/bin/nettacker
is created.So the "Install Requirements" section would read as follows
With the note: This will install Nettacker under
/opt/Nettacker/
and create a symlink in/usr/local/bin/
. Feel free to adjust this to your needs.#525 needs to merged for that to work.
