Installing from source

Decompress the tarball

Decompress the tarball file:

tar -xzf pNbody-4.x.tar.gz

enter the directory:

cd pNbody-4.x

Compile

The compilation is performed using the standard command:

python setup.py build

Install

Now, depending on your python installation you need to be root. The module is installed with the following command:

python setup.py install

If one wants to install in another directory (not being root) than the default python one, it is possible to use the standard --prefix option:

python setup.py install  --prefix other_directory
