Installing and Setup

Æther uses the waf build system for building and installation.  We've only worked with Æther on Linux systems (specifically Ubuntu systems).  Please contact us if you are attempting to use Æther on a Windows or Mac system.

Brief installation steps:

  1. To run: ./waf configure --prefix=$PWD
  2. To install: ./waf install
  3. Tell python Æther exists (bash-ish shells): export PYTHONPATH=$PWD:$PYTHONPATH
  4. Run Æther: ./aether/bin/aether

The file .aether_settings (by default) is the YAML settings file Æther uses for settings.  Modules to run can be specified on the command line or in that settings file.

Windows Support

Kate Ericson is currently working on getting Æther running on windows.
