Install and managing tool for egg-based packages

Project description

https://travis-ci.org/enthought/enstaller.png https://coveralls.io/repos/enthought/enstaller/badge.png?branch=master

The Enstaller (version 4) project is a package management and installation tool for egg-based Python distributions.

Installation

The preferred and easiest way to install Enstaller is from the executable egg, i.e. the Enstaller egg contains a bash header and on Unix systems you can download the egg and type:

$ bash enstaller-4.6.1-1.egg
Bootstrapping: ...

Once Enstaller is installed, it can update itself. Note that, as Enstaller is the install tool for the Enthought Python Distribution (EPD), all EPD installers already include Enstaller.

Available features

Enstaller consists of the sub-packages enstaller (package management tool) and egginst (package (un)installation tool).

enstaller

enstaller is a management tool for egginst-based installs. The CLI, called enpkg, calls out to egginst to do the actual installation. Enpkg is concerned with resolving dependencies, managing user configuration and fetching eggs reliably.

egginst

egginst is the underlying tool for installing and uninstalling eggs. It installs modules and packages directly into site-packages, i.e. no .egg directories are created.
