Installing Redfoot

Prerequisites

Python version 2.2.1 or greater

Python is needed in order to run redfoot.py.

RDFLib-1.2.x

RDFLib must be installed against the version of Python you plan to use or on your python path.

bsddb3

bsddb3 is required for rdflib.InformationStore.

Medusa-0.5.2-rf1

Medusa is required unless http support is not desired. If you already have a version of Medusa installed, you will may have to manually update it to the version included in this release (0.5.2-rf1) which, at the time of this release, is the latest Updated Medusa Release plus one bug fix required by Redfoot. The bug fix has been made to the Medusa CVS and so should be in 0.5.3 when it comes out.

Running Install

From the root directory of the distribution run the following command:

python2.2 setup.py install

This will install redfoot in the bin directory (as defined by distutils -- which for me defaults to /usr/local/bin/ on linux and c:/python22/Scripts/ on Windows).

See Running Redfoot for instructions on how to run.
