How to construct payment transactions with a specified path manually?

[Graine]

I have been trying to create a payment that takes a specified path, albeit unsuccessfully. Being a mentally technically-challenged person, all attempt at issuing RippledApi calls resulted either into 'ripplelib can't be found', 'syntax error' or 'unexpected object'. The only thing that actually executed error-free was the 'get account' test thing from RippleApi Beginner's guide. Regretfully, that does not aid my endeavour.

So, is there any template that I could copy-paste and it will work? I.e. so the only thing I would need to customize is Sender/recipient, currency/issuer and path?

Ripplerm's wallet has raw_txn feature, but it doesn't have an option to specify the path.

You can use ripple-lib to do that. You can manually add a path field in the Payment transaction.

There are lots of topics on the official forum on that, with limitations and bugs.

I have read a topic where you and JoelKatz discuss the similar thing. 
The problem is, I keep having errors when trying to touch ripple-lib. Thought someone might have a template or two I could paste into websocket tool, or something.

Which error? I think the first step is to be able to use ripple-lib. You should try the boilerplate in the documentation, then you try a standard payment, then you add a path.

I doubt you can do that with the websocket tool, but maybe you can.

@tulo  'ripplelib can't be found', 'syntax error' or 'unexpected object'. I am a complete novice in anything programming related, so it's very likely I misconfigured something.
Oh well, the hard way it is.
