Install the Python packaging system
In order to install gerrit-review, you must set up distribute, the Python software packaging system.
To do that, open a Terminal and run these commands:
sudo -l curl http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py | sudo python
You will see a lot of happy messages print out, and finally you will see a prompt again (which looks like $ sign).
Download git-review
To download git-review, run these commands:
easy_install pip pip install git-review
PROBLEMS? Could not get the above to work, get a 404 error at that URL. Instead, see this documentation at the MediaWiki.org site. [1] -- Fuzheado (talk) 06:24, 30 July 2013 (UTC)
- I modified the instructions, so they should work now. Legoktm (talk) 02:41, 7 August 2013 (UTC)
Make sure git-review runs
After all this work, you will want to make sure the program is properly installed. Type this into the prompt:
git-review
You should see a happy error message, three lines long:
No .gitreview file found in this repository.
We don't know where your gerrit is. Please manually create
a remote named gerrit and try again.
Hooray! It is properly installed.
Troubleshooting
If you install git-review, and bash seems unable to find it the following command might work (soft-linking it to /usr/local/bin):
sudo ln -s /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/git-review /usr/local/bin
If it does not work find someone to help.
