This is a step by step guide to installing the toolkit on your system. If your OS already has the toolkit prepackaged, then please let us know what steps are required to install it.
Download a stable released version. For those who need problems fixed, or who want to work on the bleeding edge, get the latest source from Subversion.
Get the package for your system:
RPM | If you want to install easily on an RPM based system |
tar.gz | for source based installing on Linux |
.exe | for Windows |
.deb | for Debian GNU/Linux (etch version) |
The RPM package can be installed by using the following command:
rpm -Uvh translate-toolkit-1.0.1.rpm
To install a tar.bz2
tar xvjf translate-toolkit-1.1.0.tar.bz2 cd translate-toolkit-1.1.0 su ./setup.py install
On Windows simply click on the .exe file and follow the instructions.
On Debian (if you are on etch), just type the following command :
aptitude install translate-toolkit
If you are using sarge or a previous version, you may install the tar.bz2 version. Be sure to install python and python development first with
apt-get install python python-dev
If you want to try the bleeding edge, or just want to have the latest fixes from a stabilising branch then you need to use Subversion to get your sources.
svn co https://translate.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/translate/src/trunk translate
This will retrieve the trunk
version of the toolkit. Further Subversion instructions are also available.
Once you have the sources you have two options, a full install
su ./setup.py install
or, running the tools from the source directory
./setupath # Only needed the first time . setpath # Do this once for a session
To verify which version of the toolkit you have installed run:
[l10n@server]# moz2po --version moz2po 1.1.0
