Installing VADM

Installing VADM

vadm depends on the py lib which provides programmatic access to subversion by using the ‘svn’ command line tool. The vadm scripts also will make use of the sudo command which usually is available on Unix and OSX systems.

with easy_install

1. Install easy_install if you don’t have it. On linux distributions the package name you should look for is “setuptools” or “python-setuptools”.
2. type easy_install vadm (this also installs the py lib dependency).

manually with setup.py

1. install the py lib without setuptools.

2. download the vadm tarball and install it like this (substitute the version number as appropriate):

   tar zxvf vadm-X.Y.Z.tar.gz
   cd vadm-X.Y.Z
   python setup.py install

working from development

If you want to follow the development version you can type something like this:

svn co https://codespeak.net/svn/vadm/dist/vadm

and add the vadm/bin/ directory to your $PATH variable. The vadm script will automatically use the development version.
