= Build Instructions for Linux (Ubuntu) =
The following instructions concern Ubuntu 14.04 but should provide sufficient guidelines for any linux distribution.
Some packages were installed from Ubuntu repository with apt-get, while others required pip.  

== Download source code for !SasView == 
- To obtain the source code you need to have git running. if you haven't already got it, it can be obtained from Ubuntu repository
{{{
sudo apt-get install git
}}}
- The easy way to download !SasView code is by simply cloning a git repository
{{{
git clone https://github.com/SasView/sasview
}}}
- This will create a sasview folder in your current directory
 
== Install dependencies using apt-get == 
- Scientific python packages (numpy, scipy) together with matplotlib, pylint and wxgtk2.8 can be installed by running
{{{
sudo apt-get install python-numpy python-scipy python-matplotlib pylint python-wxgtk2.8
}}}

== Install pip ==
- The remaining dependencies can be installed using pip, which one could get and install by running the following:
{{{
wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
sudo python get-pip.py
}}}

== Install dependencies using pip ==
- Once pip is installed one can install the remaining dependencies 
{{{
sudo pip install unittest-xml-reporting
sudo pip install bumps
sudo pip install periodictable
sudo pip install sphinx
}}}

== Compile !SasView ==
- Then one can navigate to a !SasView source directory (most likely "cd sasview") and then simply run
{{{
python setup.py build      # will build the package underneath 'build/'
python setup.py install    # will install the package
}}}
- sudo commnand might be required for a global installation
