need basic help for installation

[flavitie]

I am sorry for the very basic question, i am not a python user, hope you don't mind giving me some advice, I am working on a Debian machine mounted in a Oracle VM Virtualbox.
I copyed the RTIAcquire files to my Home path in a new RTI folder
I moved to RTI and issued the command>
python setup.py install --prefix=/home/pi/RTI/install

and got the following output>

if I move to /home/pi//RTI/install/bin (where RTIAcquire file is located) and issue ./RTIAcquire
I get>
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./RTIAcquire", line 10, in
import rtiacquire.rtiacquire
ImportError: No module named rtiacquire.rtiacquire

am I missing something?

thanks for patiente...

ciao, F.

Hi, you need to set up your environment to run stuff from your install prefix. You need to set at least PATH to include /home/pi/RTI/install/bin and PYTHONPATH to include /home/pi/RTI/install/lib/python2.7/site-packages

I would try installing without giving a prefix. This will install to /usr/local and you are probably already set up to run stuff from there.
