Build Instructions for Linux (Ubuntu)

The following instructions concern Ubuntu 14.04 but should provide sufficient guidelines for any linux distribution.

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

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
```
For wxgtk3.0 read "Build instructions" at http://www.wxpython.org

The remaining dependencies can be installed using pip, which can be obtained by running the following:
```
wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
sudo python get-pip.py
```

Once pip is obtained the remaining dependencies are installed by:

sudo pip install unittest-xml-reporting
sudo pip install bumps
sudo pip install periodictable
sudo pip install sphinx

Then one can navigate to a SasView source directory (most likely "cd sasview") and simply run

python setup.py build      # will build the package underneath 'build/'
python setup.py install    # will install the package
