Installing qutebrowser
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
On Debian / Ubuntu
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
qutebrowser should run on these systems:
|
|
|
|
* Debian jessie or newer
|
|
* Ubuntu Trusty (14.04 LTS) or newer
|
|
* Any other distribution based on these (e.g. Linux Mint)
|
|
|
|
Install the dependencies via apt-get:
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
# apt-get install python3-pyqt5 python3-pyqt5.qtwebkit python-virtualenv
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
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 run the supplied script to run qutebrowser inside a
|
|
https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/latest/virtualenv.html[virtualenv]:
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
# python3 scripts/init_venv.py
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
This installs all needed Python dependencies in a `.venv` subfolder. The
|
|
system-wide Qt5/PyQt5 installations are symlinked into the virtualenv.
|
|
|
|
You can then create a simple wrapper script to start qutebrowser somewhere in
|
|
your `$PATH` (e.g. `/usr/local/bin/qutebrowser` or `~/bin/qutebrowser`):
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
#!/bin/bash
|
|
~/path/to/qutebrowser/.venv/bin/python3 -m qutebrowser
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
On Archlinux
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
There are two Archlinux packages available in the AUR:
|
|
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/qutebrowser/[qutebrowser] and
|
|
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/qutebrowser-git/[qutebrowser-git].
|
|
|
|
You can install them 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
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
You can either use one of the
|
|
https://github.com/The-Compiler/qutebrowser/releases[prebuilt standalone
|
|
packages or MSI installers], or install manually:
|
|
|
|
* Use the installer from http://www.python.org/downloads[python.org] to get
|
|
Python 3 (be sure to install pip).
|
|
* Use the installer from
|
|
http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/software/pyqt/download5[Riverbank computing]
|
|
to get Qt and PyQt5.
|
|
* Run `pip install virtualenv` or
|
|
http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#virtualenv[the installer from here]
|
|
to install virtualenv.
|
|
|
|
Then run the supplied script to run qutebrowser inside a
|
|
https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/latest/virtualenv.html[virtualenv]:
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
# python3 scripts/init_venv.py
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
This installs all needed Python dependencies in a `.venv` subfolder. The
|
|
system-wide Qt5/PyQt5 installations are used in the virtualenv.
|
|
|
|
On OS X
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
There are multiple package managers for OS X, this manual focuses just on
|
|
http://brew.sh/[Homebrew] to install qutebrowser. To compile PyQt5 in a later
|
|
step, you have to install XCode from the App Store. From Terminal.app, run:
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
$ brew install python3 pyqt5
|
|
$ pip3.4 install qutebrowser
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
The preferences for qutebrowser are stored in
|
|
`~/Library/Preferences/qutebrowser`, the application data is stored in
|
|
`~/Library/Application Support/qutebrowser`.
|
|
|
|
Packagers
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
There are example .desktop and icon files provided. They would go in the
|
|
standard location for your distro (`/usr/share/applications` and
|
|
`/usr/share/pixmaps` for example).
|
|
|
|
The normal `setup.py install` doesn't install these files, so you'll have to do
|
|
it as part of the packaging process.
