The latest version of Nanocut can be downloaded from http://bitbucket.org/aradi/nanocut/.
Nanocut is written in Python3 and uses the great NumPy package. In order to install and run it, you need therefore:
You can install the program using the standard Python package installation procedure. If you want to install Nanocut to the standard python package location (you may need root rights for that), you can issue:
python3 setup.py install
in the root directory of Nanocut. Otherwise, you can specify a location prefix. For example to install it somewhere in your HOME-directory:
python3 setup.py install --prefix ~/opt/nanocut
In this case make sure, your PYTHONPATH environment variable contains the appropriate site-packages folder with the Nanocut packages. When using the BASH shell, you should issue:
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:~/opt/nanocut/lib/python3.2/site-packages
provided you’re using Python version 3.2. The Nanocut executable (nanocut) will be placed into the diretory ~/opt/nanocut/bin.
You can check your installation by invoking Nanocut. Issuing:
~/opt/nanocut/bin/nanocut -h
should give you a short summary about the command line options of the program. If you get error messages about missing modules instead, make sure you use the right version of Python and NumPy and you set up your environment as explained above.
