Installation

`PYTHONPATH`
============

`PYTHONPATH` sets the search path for importing python modules. So, a
reasonable way to use `nbodypy` is to install it using the `PYTHONPATH`
mechanism.

Suppose that we have a directory in which we want to put all the local
python package or modules: `/home/LOGIN/the/path`.

You can export this directory to the environment variable `PYTHONPATH`
(in your `.bashrc` for example) :

.. code-block:: bash

   export PYTHONPATH=/home/LOGIN/the/path:$PYTHONPATH

Add the `nbodypy` directory
---------------------------

After doing that, you just have to add the `nbodypy` directory of the
git repository (containing the python files) in the python directory:

.. code-block:: bash

   /home/LOGIN/the/path/nbodypy
