Install Python Code Coverage in Ubuntu 11.04

Just started to learn using Python on Linux. For me, the most troubling stuffs is to get the program installed over Linux.


Anyhow, these are prerequisites,

  • You have Python installed. Ubuntu comes with Python2.7. But, you can install Python 3.2 following another post 
  • Python Setuptools. If you don't have this, you can install it by 
  • $ sudo apt-get install python-setuptools
    


These are steps to install Python Code Coverage
  1. Download the Python Code Coverage from http://pypi.python.org/pypi/coverage. As of writing, the version is 3.5
  2. extract the tarball to a folder, .e.g. ~/Downloads/coverage-3.5
  3. In Ubuntu, the default python is 2.7. It will install to /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/
newgear@ubuntu:~/Downloads/coverage-3.5$ sudo python setup.py install -v

Or, you can do this to install to Python 3.2. It will install to /usr/local/lib/python3.2/dist-packages/

newgear@ubuntu:~/Downloads/coverage-3.5$ sudo python3.2 setup.py install -v
