If you're a Gnome or KDE user, you may wish to install a Myokit icon to your menu, add the mime-type information for Myokit .mmt files or add syntax highlighting for gtksourceview (Gedit). Scripts to do this are located in

./install/gnome-kde

Windows users can install icons using the Myokit installer for Windows.

If you want to be able to access Myokit from outside the Myokit directory (so that import myokit will work in any Python program), run:

python setup.py develop
