Installing qutebrowser ====================== On Debian / Ubuntu ------------------ qutebrowser should run on these systems: * Debian jessie or newer * Ubuntu Trusty (14.04 LTS) or newer Install the dependencies via apt-get: ---- # apt-get install python3-pyqt5 python3-pyqt5.qtwebkit python3-pkg-resources python3-pip python3-jinja2 python3-pygments ---- To generate the documentation for the `:help` command, when using the git repository (rather than a release): ---- # apt-get install asciidoc # python3 scripts/asciidoc2html.py ---- Then install qutebrowser: ---- # python3 setup.py install ---- On Archlinux ------------ There's an Archlinux package available in the https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/qutebrowser-git/[Archlinux AUR]. You can install it like this: ---- $ mkdir qutebrowser $ cd qutebrowser $ wget https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/qu/qutebrowser-git/PKGBUILD $ makepkg -si ---- or you could use an AUR helper, e.g. `yaourt -S qutebrowser-git`. On Gentoo --------- A dedicated overlay is available on https://github.com/posativ/qutebrowser-overlay[GitHub]. To install it, add the overlay with http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Layman[layman]: ---- # wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/posativ/qutebrowser-overlay/master/overlays.xml -O /etc/layman/overlays/qutebrowser.xml # layman -a qutebrowser ---- Note, that Qt5 is available in the portage tree, but masked. You may need to do a lot of keywording to install qutebrowser. Also make sure you have `python3_4` in your `PYTHON_TARGETS` (`/etc/portage/make.conf`) and rebuild your system (`emerge -uDNav @world`). Afterwards, you can install qutebrowser: ---- # emerge -av qutebrowser ---- On Windows ---------- // FIXME: use setup.py to install all dependencies * Use the installer from http://www.python.org/downloads[python.org] to get Python 3 * Use the installer from http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/software/pyqt/download5[Riverbank computing] to get Qt and PyQt5. * Run `scripts/ez_setup.py` to get setuptools. * Get pip as described http://stackoverflow.com/a/12476379[on Stack Overflow]. * Run `pip install pypeg2` to install pypeg2. * Run `pip install jinja2` to install jinja2, or install it from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#jinja2. * Run `pip install pygments` to install pygments, or install it from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pygments. As soon as v0.1 is out, a standalone .exe (built with http://cx-freeze.sourceforge.net/[cx_Freeze]) will be provided. In the meantime, you can simply ask in IRC if you need one. On OS X ------- Running qutebrowser on OS X requires compiling PyQt5 by hand. These steps have been tested on OS X Mavericks: * Install XCode from the Appstore * Open a Terminal * Run `xcode-select --install` * Install the XCode commandline tools * Run `sudo /usr/bin/xcodebuild` and accept the license. * http://www.qt.io/download-open-source/[Download] and run the Qt5 installer. If you want, you can deselect Android/iOS when selecting the components to be installed. * Run `sed -i -e 's/macosx10\.8/macosx10\.9/' ~/Qt/5.3/clang_64/mkspecs/qdevice.pri` * http://www.python.org/downloads/[Download] and install the Python 3 installer. After opening the `.dmg`, right-click on 'Python.mpkg' and click 'Open' to run it -- double-clicking won't work. * Download SIP and PyQt5 from Riverbank Coputing * Open a Terminal and use `cd ~/Downloads` to get to the download directory. * Use `tar xzvf sip-*.tar` to extract SIP and `cd sip-*` to change into the SIP directory * Run `python3 configure.py`, `make` and `sudo make install`. * Use `cd ~/Downloads` to get back to the download directory. * Use `tar xvf PyQt-*.tar` to extract PyQt and `cd PyQt-*` to change into the PyQt directory. * Run `sed -i -e "s/qmake_QT=\['webkit', 'network'\]/qmake_QT=['webkit', 'network', 'printsupport']/" configure.py` * Run `sed -i -e "s/qmake_QT=\['webkitwidgets'\]/qmake_QT=['webkitwidgets', 'printsupport']/" configure.py` * Run `python3 configure.py --qmake ~/Qt/5.3/clang_64/bin/qmake --sip /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/bin/sip` and accept the license. * Run `make` and `sudo make install`. * Run `python3 setup.py install` to install all other dependencies Running qutebrowser ------------------- // FIXME setup.py / venv After installing the requirements, you have these options: * Run qutebrowser directly via `./qutebrowser.py` in the toplevel directory. * Run `python3 setup.py install` to install qutebrowser, then call `qutebrowser`. NOTE: If you're running qutebrowser from the git repository rather than a released version, you should run `scripts/asciidoc2html.py` to generate the documentation.
