2.1. building SETools
---------------------
### Building SETools
Unpack the official distribution or check out the git repository,
and perform the following:
```
$ cd setools
$ python setup.py build
$ python setup.py install
```
This will put the applications in /usr/bin, data files in /usr/share/setools,
and libraries in /usr/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages/setools.
2.2. setup.py flags
-------------------
### Installation Options
Please see `python setup.py --help` or `python setup.py install --help`
for up-to-date information on build and install options, respectively.
2.3 unit tests
--------------
### Unit Tests
One goal for SETools is to provide confidence in the validity of the
output for the tools. The unit tests for SETools can be run with
the following command
```
$ python setup.py test
```
3. Features
