Prev | Chapter 1. Building and Installing SCons |
If a pre-built SCons package is not available for your system, then you can still easily build and install SCons using the native Python distutils package.
The first step is to download either the scons-__VERSION__.tar.gz or scons-__VERSION__.zip, which are available from the SCons download page at http://www.scons.org/download.html.
Unpack the archive you downloaded, using a utility like tar on Linux or UNIX, or WinZip on Windows. This will create a directory called scons-__VERSION__, usually in your local directory. Then change your working directory to that directory and install SCons by executing the following commands:
# cd scons-__VERSION__ #
