Requirements
Installation
GNU/Linux
Install pyqt5, open-cobol and pip using your package manager, then run the following commands:
sudo pip3 install OpenCobolIDE --upgrade
If you are using Archlinux, you can install OpenCobolIDE and all its dependencies from the AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/open-cobol-ide/
Note that if you have both PyQt5 and PyQt4 on your system, the IDE will use PyQt5 by default. To force the use of PyQt4, you should set the QT_API environment variable to pyqt4.
Windows
There is a windows installer available here: https://launchpad.net/cobcide/+download
Mac OSX
There is a dmg image available here: https://launchpad.net/cobcide/+download
Before running the app, you first have to install the GnuCobol compiler, e.g. using homebrew:
brew install open-cobol
If you installed the compiler in a non-standard path and it is not recognized by the IDE, you can specify the path to the compiler in the preferences dialog under the Build & Run section (make sure to only specify the directory where the compiler can be found, not the full path).
