Installation Modes¶

After running below command:

$ setup/install.py

You will be presented with two different installation options. The developer installation and the normal installation.

$ This program is the CLI interface to configuring pattoo

positional arguments:
{install,developer}
  install            Install pattoo. Type install --help to see additional
                     arguments
  developer          Set up pattoo for unittesting. Type --help to see additional
                     arguments

optional arguments:
-h, --help           show this help message and exit

Note) Both installation modes come with 5 installation options, however, only three are usable in the developer mode, that being all, pip and configuration. Due to the systemd and docker installation modes requiring sudo privileges to be run
