   8 Running Examples
   9 ----------------
  10
  11 To run the individual examples one needs to have Python version 3.4 or above
  12 installed and LinPy must be in your ``PYTHONPATH`` environment variable. Most
  13 examples can be run from the command line ``python3`` and the name of the
  14 example::
  15
  16     vivien@rochefort:~/linpy/examples$ export PYTHONPATH=$PWD/..:$PYTHONPATH
  17     vivien@rochefort:~/linpy/examples$ python3 squares.py
  18
  19 Note: on most systems, the current directory is searched by Python
  20 automatically, so ``python3 examples/squares.py`` works from the LinPy root
  21 directory, however there are systems (Ubuntu Intrepid) where this doesn't work
  22 by default, unless you put ``PYTHONPATH=.`` into your .bashrc for example.
