Some quick notes I took while installing albion on a new system.
- pick a global location to keep albion.py, albion_profile, and albionrc (they can all go in the same place)
- pick a global location to keep albion configs (probably not the same place as the above files)
- pick a global location to keep albion envs (not the exact same place as albion configs, but close by is usually helpful)
- create a default env in the envs global location (it can just be an empty file to get started)
- edit albion_profile to set ALBION_ENVS_PATH, ALBION_CONFIGS_PATH, PATH_TO_ALBION, and DEFAULT_ENV.
- remove or rename
~/.bash_profile - add a line to source albion_profile at the beginning of
~/.profile - add a line to source albionrc at the end of
~/.bashrc - If you don’t want your default env to be default, put this at the top of your
~/.profile, before you source albion_profile:
if [ -z "$ALBION_ENV" ]; then
export ALBION_ENV="env-name"
fiwhere env-name is the environment you want to start with when you log in.
