Hello all!

I am Yash Sinha, currently a student of BITS Pilani, India. Starting my WikiPage today.

Setting Up Repo:9 Apr'13

Today I tried to setup silpa git repo on my machine. I started early, because I knew there could be some difficulties. Initially, by mistake I cloned the old repository which made me face a lot of errors.

Later, I used the current on progress version of silpa at (github.com/Project-SILPA/) I cloned the folowing modules:

• [Soudex ] (github.com/Project-SILPA/Soundex)
• [ApproxSearch] (github.com/Project-SILPA/ApproxSearch)
• [Transliteration] (github.com/Project-SILPA/Transliteration)
• [Spellchecker] (github.com/Project-SILPA/spellchecker)
• [Hyphenation] (github.com/Project-SILPA/Hyphenation)
• [Chardetails] (github.com/Project-SILPA/chardetails)
• [Payyans] (github.com/Project-SILPA/payyans)

And installed the following modules: Flask, Jinja2, Werkzeug and Virtualenv. Yeah there I did a mistake. Instead of Flask I should have use flask. To identify that mistake I had to almost reinstall my modules again.

Initially, I had used sudo python setup.py install to install the cloned modules. This was also an error (I suppose). Later I logged in as root and used python setup.py install.

What I learnt:

• Python is a case-sensitive language. (F/flask) Yeah it is :)
• use sudo command only when needed.
• I also learnt to login to root both via terminal and gui.
