Installation¶
If you’re already familiar with Python, just use pip
pip install mrscrub
macOS¶
Note
This installation process has been tested on macOS Catalina and Big Sur
I recommend installing Python 3 either by installing Apple Xcode
or by installing the very excellent Homebrew package manager
and running brew install python.
Once you have Python 3 installed, open a terminal and execute the following
command to install mrscrub
python3 -m pip install --user mrscrub
Note
This will install scrub.py into ~/Library/Python/3.9/bin/. You’ll
want to add this to your PATH with the following command
export PATH="~/Library/Python/3.9/bin:$PATH"
CentOS¶
Note
This installation process has been tested on CentOS 7.9
To install mrscrub, open a terminal and execute the following command
python3 -m pip install --user mrscrub
Ubuntu¶
Note
This installation process has been tested on Ubuntu 21.04 LTS
Recent versions of Ubuntu come preinstalled with python3 but not pip
(or not always). To install pip, open a terminal and execute the following
commands
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python3-pip
Now, to install mrscrub, open a terminal and execute the following
command
python3 -m pip install --user mrscrub
Windows¶
Note
This installation process has been tested on Windows 10 Enterprise
To install Python on Windows, open the Microsoft Store and search for Python or click this link. Install the latest version, which should be version 3.9 or higher.
Now, open Windows PowerShell and execute the following command to create a virtual environment
python -m venv mrscrub
Now activate your virtual environment
mrscrub\Scripts\activate
If you encounter the error
mrscrub\Scripts\activate : File C:\Users\<user>\mrscrub\Scripts\Activate.ps1
cannot be loaded because running scripts is disabled on this system
You’ll need to launch Windows PowerShell again as an administrator and set the
system execution policy to remotesigned. Execute the following command and
choose [Y] Yes when asked to accept the new policy
set-executionpolicy remotesigned
After you’ve successfully activated your virtual environment, install
mrscrub with the following command
pip install mrscrub
