Installing LLFUSE

Stable releases

LLFUSE can be installed like any other Python extension. Make sure that you have the Python, FUSE and extended attribute (“xattr”) development headers installed, then download and extract the LLFUSE tarball and run

sudo python setup.py install

or

python setup.py install --user

Note that LLFUSE requires at least FUSE 2.8.0 and Python 2.6.

Development Version

If you have checked out the unstable development version from the Mercurial repository, a bit more effort is required. You need to have recent versions of Cython and Sphinx installed, and the necessary commands are:

python setup.py build_cython
python setup.py build_ext --inplace
python setup.py build_sphinx
python setup.py install
