Installation
The following notes provide some guidance for installing Python and other packages that tacl depends on.
The following instructions were provided by a Mac OS X user.
- Download and unpack the tacl code at https://github.com/ajenhl/tacl/archive/master.zip
- Install the latest version of MacPorts: https://www.macports.org/install.php
In a Terminal, run the following:
- sudo port selfupdate
- sudo port install python34
- sudo port select --set python python34
- sudo port install py34-lxml
- sudo port install py34-pandas
- cd [directory where tacl was unpacked to]
- sudo python setup.py install
- tacl -h
If the last step produces an error that the tacl command was not found, this is likely due to its location not being in the PATH environment variable. Look for a line such as "copying build/scripts-3.4/tacl -> /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/bin" in the output of the "sudo python setup.py install" command; the destination directory listed there needs to be added to the PATH. This can be done by following the instructions at http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/2621/os_x_change_path_environment_variable/. After that is done (and remember that you need to reload your .profile, or open a new Terminal, first), "tacl -h" should print out the basic usage information for tacl, and you are ready to start using the program!
