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