Make the ``scrapy-ctl.py`` script available On Unix-like systems, create a symbolic link to the file - ``scrapy-trunk/scrapy/bin/scrapy-ctl.py`` in a directory on your system path, + ``scrapy-trunk/bin/scrapy-ctl.py`` in a directory on your system path, such as ``/usr/local/bin``. For example:: - ln -s `pwd`/scrapy-trunk/scrapy/bin/scrapy-ctl.py /usr/local/bin + ln -s `pwd`/scrapy-trunk/bin/scrapy-ctl.py /usr/local/bin This simply lets you type ``scrapy-ctl.py`` from within any directory, rather than having to qualify the command with the full path to the file. On Windows systems, the same result can be achieved by copying the file - ``scrapy-trunk/scrapy/bin/scrapy-ctl.py`` to somewhere on your system path, + ``scrapy-trunk/bin/scrapy-ctl.py`` to somewhere on your system path, for example ``C:\Python25\Scripts``, which is customary for Python scripts. .. _Control Panel: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/sysdm_advancd_environmnt_addchange_variable.mspx
