Lektor comes in two flavors: the command line executable as well as as a
|
|
desktop application. The desktop version also contains the command line
|
|
executable however it bundles together all dependencies of Lektor in an
|
|
easy to use package which heavily simplifies installation.
|
|
|
|
## Desktop Application
|
|
|
|
Currently the desktop application is only available for OS X and can be
|
|
[downloaded from the Lektor website](../../downloads/). It comes as a downloadable
|
|
disk image that you can mount which contains one application by the name of
|
|
`Lektor.app`. Just drag it into your `Applications` folder and you are good to
|
|
go.
|
|
|
|
If you also want access to the command line tools just launch `Lektor.app`
|
|
and then click on *Lektor ➤ Install Shell Command*.
|
|
|
|
## Command Line Application
|
|
|
|
If you do not want to install the desktop app you can just install the command
|
|
line executable. This one runs on more operating systems (OSX, Linux and
|
|
Windows) but that installation is a bit more involved.
|
|
|
|
You need to make sure you have the following software installed on your computer:
|
|
|
|
* Python 2.7 (**not** Python 3.x)
|
|
* ImageMagick (`brew install imagemagick` or `apt-get install imagemagick`
|
|
can get you this on OS X and Ubuntu respectively, on Windows do `choco install imagemagick`, which requires [chocolatey](https://chocolatey.org/), or download from [here](http://www.imagemagick.org))
|
|
|
|
Once you have that installed and made sure that they are on your `PATH` you can get Lektor installed with our
|
|
installation script:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ curl -sf https://www.getlektor.com/install.sh | sh
|
|
```
|
|
For Windows you can use the `command prompt`:
|
|
```
|
|
C:\> @powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "iex ((new-object net.webclient).DownloadString('https://getlektor.com/install.ps1'))" && SET PATH=%PATH%;%LocalAppData%\lektor-cli
|
|
```
|
|
but you can also do it directly in `Powershell`:
|
|
```
|
|
PS C:\> iex ((new-object net.webclient).DownloadString('https://getlektor.com/install.ps1'))
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Alternatively you can manually install it with `virtualenv` if you know
|
|
how that works:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ virtualenv venv
|
|
$ . venv/bin/activate
|
|
$ pip install Lektor
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Development Version
|
|
|
|
If you want to install the development version of Lektor you can do so. It's
|
|
the same as with installing the command line application but instead of
|
|
using PyPI you install directly from git and you need to have `npm` installed
|
|
to build the admin UI:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/lektor/lektor
|
|
$ cd lektor
|
|
$ make build-js
|
|
$ virtualenv venv
|
|
$ . venv/bin/activate
|
|
$ pip install --editable .
|
|
```
