Installation

Construct requires Git and Python 2.7 or 3.4+. The best method of installing construct is to use the install scripts included in this repository. These install construct into custom locations and allow for installing multiple versions of construct alongside each other. A symlink is created linking the current version upon install.

Windows

Launch a command prompt as an Administrator and run the following commands.

> cd %TMP%
> git clone https://github.com/construct-org/construct_setup
> cd construct_setup
> install

The default install path on windows is C:\Construct.

Linux and Mac

Launch a terminal and run the following commands.

> git clone https://github.com/construct-org/construct_setup
> cd construct_setup
> sudo -s
> source install.sh

The default install path on Linux and Mac is /opt/construct.

Test your install

After installing you should have access to the construct cli.
