Dependencies

LQMT is written completely in Python3. Because of this, Python3 is required to install and run LQMT properly. These instructions should get you setup with Python3. Note that if your system already has Python3, you should only have to use the instructions below to install lxml.

Debian/Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install python3 python3-pip build-essential
sudo apt-get build-dep python3-lxml

RedHat/CentOS 6

sudo yum install https://rhel6.iuscommunity.org/ius-release.rpm
sudo yum install python35u python35u-pip libxml2-devel libxslt-devel python35u-devel gcc

RedHat/CentOS 7

sudo yum install https://rhel7.iuscommunity.org/ius-release.rpm
sudo yum install python35u python35u-pip libxml2-devel libxslt-devel python35u-devel gcc

FreeBSD

pkg install python34
wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
python3.4 get-pip.py
pkg install py34-sqlite3
pkg install py27-lxml

Virtualenv (optional)

Use a Python virtual environment if you have other Python projects, whose dependencies might conflict with LQMToolset (or vice-versa). virtualenv ensures that Python projects are isolated.

sudo pip3 install virtualenv
virtualenv -p `which python3` lqmt
source lqmt/bin/activate

LQMT Installation

pip3 install lqmt
lqmt -h

If you successfully ran lqmt with the help command, you can move on to configuration.

LQMT Upgrade

If you already have LQMT installed and wish to upgrade to a newer version, try the following command:

pip3 install lqmt --upgrade
