Installation
Operating system
QuickCode for ONS is designed to run on Windows 7. There's no specific reason it shouldn't run on later versions of Windows, or even other operating systems, but it was created for that version of Windows.
Python
The easiest way of getting Python on Windows is to install Anaconda.
Download the Python 2.7 installer for your OS: if not sure, try the 32-bit version.
The default options should work well.
Language modules
From the Windows command line type:
pip install databaker
This will install databaker and all its prerequisites that aren't installed with Anaconda.
Upgrading
If you have databaker
installed already and want to upgrade to the
latest version, then from the Windows command line type:
pip install --upgrade databaker
Development version
This is done from a virtual environment into which you checkout all the current dependencies.
virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python2.7 databakervenv
cd databakervenv
source bin/activate
pip install setuptools --upgrade
pip install -e git+git://github.com/scraperwiki/databaker.git@master#egg=databaker
bake --> [should give you a brief help prompt showing it works]
