linux - Installing python on 1and1 shared hosting -

I am trying to install Python in a 1and1.com shared Linux hosting account.

A good guide to this address:

Although I have been stuck at step 6, which is: "Install". The error I get is as follows:

  (UI): u58399657: ~ / bin / python & gt; Can not create directory / ~ / bin / python / bin / usr / bin / install: directory `/ ~ ': create permission denied directory / ~ / bin / python / lib / usr / bin / install: directory`  
  Update:      
 To fix the above error is an alternate version of the configured phase, but this Bar I get a different error:  
  (uiserver): u58399657: ~> CD Python - 2.6.3 (User): u58399657: ~ / Python-2.6.3 & gt; Configure .configure -prefix = ~ / bin / python: Error: --prefix is ​​expected to have an absolute directory name: ~ / bin / python (uiserver): u58399657: ~ / Python-2.6.3 & gt;  
 

is a small version, it seems that you have the prefix ~ / bin / python / bin / python it is usually - prefix = path with configured or any other Try to decide what is done with the same script and it should work then I used to suggest actual commands, but it has been a while (so you want to see what you are writing.)

Above the wrong Due to this, this is a subdirectory to

edit: / strong> linked tutorial:

  ./configure --prefix = / ~ / bin / python  

Read this instead:

  ./configure --prefix = ~ / bin / python  

Note, this is long ago Comment on that post.

Edit 2: It seems that whatever shell you are using is not expanding the path properly. Try it instead:

  ./configure --prefix = $ HOME / bin / python  

Even if unsuccessful, Run $ HOME and then select the $ HOME option. It should look something like - prefix = / home / mscharley / bin / python
