[IPython-User] ipython installation/configuration

[Alan Bromborsky]

I downloaded ipython from github -

     git clone https://github.com/ipython/ipython.git

then -

     cd ipython
     sudo python setup.py install
     sudo python setupegg.py install

My system is ubuntu 11.04.  After installation there are no .ipython or
.config/ipython directories.  Do I have to create them manually?

One of them should be created when you run IPython (.config/ipython on Linux if you haven't used IPython before). If you want to customise the configuration, you'll need to run "ipython profile create".

Best wishes,

Yes - I think so. As far as I could tell, running "ipython profile create foo" creates the .config/ipython directory, as well as the specific directory for that profile. Running "ipython profile create" will create the 'default' profile.

That directory also gets created on first run by each user.  It can't
be created at install time, because installation is done by root (via
sudo) where as these are per-user directories (I'm just clarifying for
the OP's benefit here).

Your instructions on the profiles were spot on, thanks for pitching in!!

Cheers,
