Installing the pyceda module

Download

Run the following commands in a bash terminal to download the pyceda module (as a tarball named pyceda-0.7.tar.gz) from the cedanet website:

mkdir ~/developer
cd ~/developer
wget http://cedanet.com.au/ceda/xcpp/linux/pyceda-0.7.tar.gz

Alternatively download the tarball using this link: pyceda-0.7.tar.gz (file size is 18.3 MB)

Validate download

You can optionally validate the download by computing the SHA-1 checksum, using the following command:

sha1sum pyceda-0.7.tar.gz

The checksum should equal b33ff091313a0018fa711972904aa8123b0a2b5e

Uncompress tarball

Run the following commands to uncompress pyceda-0.7.tar.gz into ~/developer:

cd ~/developer
tar -xvf pyceda-0.7.tar.gz

This generates the following output:

Verification

As a simple check that the pyceda package has been installed correctly, do the following

Run the python interpreter by running the command 'python' in a bash terminal

user@host:~/developer$ python
Python 2.7.12 (default, Nov 19 2016, 06:48:10)
[GCC 5.4.0 20160609] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>

Import the pyceda module

>>> import pyceda

Display the root directory of the ceda namespace

>>> dir(pyceda.cns)

The output should resemble this:

['FindChildNameSpace', 'FindElement', 'FindElementWithRelativePath',
 'GetChildNameSpaceIterator', 'GetElementIterator', 'GetName', 'Int64',
 'PyObject', 'UInt64', 'ceda']

Press ctrl-D to exit the python interpreter
