============================================= callirhoe - high quality calendar rendering (c) 2012-2015 George Tzoumas https://geotz.github.io/callirhoe/ ============================================= QUICK INSTALLATION GUIDE CONTENTS 1) FROM COMPRESSED ARCHIVE 2) FROM GITHUB 3) INSTALLING INTO BINARY PATH 4) INSTALLATION FOR ARCH LINUX (rough installation guide for novice users...) 1) FROM COMPRESSED ARCHIVE Download the latest version from the project's page. You end up with a file named callirhoe-vX.Y.Z-gID.tar.gz or .zip where X.Y.Z the version number (for example 0.4.2) and ID the commit ID (depending on how you obtained the archive). Extract the contents of the archive $ tar zxf callirhoe-vX.Y.Z-gID.tar.gz Change into program's directory $ cd geotz-callirhoe-ID Now you can launch the program, e.g. $ ./callirhoe.py foo.pdf See section 3 for how to install callirhoe so that it lies in your executable path. 2) FROM GITHUB Checkout the latest version from github. Most probably you want only the master branch (unless you also want to download the website with over 100MB of pregenerated calendars!): $ git clone -b master --single-branch https://github.com/geotz/callirhoe.git Change into directory $ cd callirhoe After a few days/weeks/months... you may update to the latest version: $ git pull You can launch the program as usual: $ ./callirhoe.py foo.pdf 3) INSTALLING INTO BINARY PATH You can add a link to your path, $HOME/bin or /usr/local/bin: $ ln -s `pwd`/callirhoe.py $HOME/bin/callirhoe You can do the same with calmagick.py. You may also install it system-wide, for example in /opt. In this case, keep in mind, that ~/.callirhoe/ is also searched for additional definitions, styles etc. If you do not plan to mess with the source, you may create a binary python package. This is not exactly a binary, it is a zip archive containing compiled python bytecode, which is quite compact. To do so, simply run: $ make This will create two executables, 'callirhoe' and 'calmagick'. Now you can install them into your binary path as follows: $ make install this will typically install to /usr/local/bin (and the holiday files into /usr/local/share/callirhoe/holidays). You can specify another prefix: $ make install DESTDIR=/my/other/dir Now you can remove the source dir, as it is no longer needed. 4) INSTALLATION FOR ARCH LINUX There is a PKGBUILD file you can use to install. Normally you get just the PKGBUILD from the webpage from AUR (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/callirhoe/). It is also included in the source distribution, but this is a bit redundant (see below). Place the PKGBUILD into a directory and run: $ makepkg -si ( -s will automatically install missing depedencies; also note that this will redownload the source from the svn ) Arch will do the rest for you. In the unlikely event that you don't have "makepkg" already installed you can find information about it's installation here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository
