Graphical or not?

Snoing has two modes, graphical and non graphical with the default mode set to non-graphical. If you wish to use any graphical packages e.g. the viewer, then all packages must be installed in the graphical mode. You must make this decision before installing anything as this cannot be changed after.

Installing rat-dev

To install rat-dev i.e. the git controlled rat repository, simply setup snoing and then execute:

./snoing.py rat-dev

Installing the viewer:

To install snogoggles-dev i.e. the git controlled viewer repository, simply setup snoing and then execute:

./snoing.py -g snogoggles-dev

Note the extra -g option to invoke the graphical mode.
