I am using Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit, and started learning python today.(I tried to install a pirate version of MATLAB but failed...) I have a linear programming problem to solve, and I want to use lp_solve module for Python. I tried for 1~2 hours to find the download file and install the module.
I am not sure if I downloaded a right thing, and I could not install it until now.
How can I install this? There is no download link in http://lpsolve.sourceforge.net/, and it tells me to run a command
python setup.py install
but there is no setup.py file in anywhere, including the lpsolve source file I downloaded somewhere.
If you know where to download it, and install it, could you teach me how to do them, step by step?
I am not sure about the version of my Python.
Thank you.
The download link is:
Once you have it installed, you may need to tweak your PYTHONPATH.
