Installation

Debian

Debian use sometimes versions in package names. Here are in Stretch version. If you use different version, your gtksource or webkit2 could have another version name.

# python3.5, gtk3, librsvg etc are in dependencies
apt install python3-pip python3-gi python3-docutils gir1.2-gtksource-3.0 \
            gir1.2-webkit2-4.0 gir1.2-gtkspell3-3.0
pip3 install formiko

# optionaly
apt install vim-gtk3
pip3 install docutils-tinyhtmlwriter recommonmark docutils-html5-writer

Formiko is in Debian repository from Buster. So you can install it standard way.

NetBSD

There is not GtkSpell3 on NetBSD, which is need for next 1.3.x version. So you must use 1.2.x bug fix release.

NetBSD use pkgsrc, so some binaries are stored in /usr/pkg/bin directory. Formiko call vim and gvim directly. If you want to use vim version with pkgsrc, you must fix VIM_PATH variable in formiko/vim.py file.

# python3.6 is in dependecies as like gtk3
pkgin install py36-pip py36-gobject3 py36-docutils gtksourceview3 \
              librsvg webkit-gtk py36-pygments
pip3.6 install formiko

# optionaly
pkgin install vim-gtk3
pip3.6 install docutils-tinyhtmlwriter recommonmark docutils-html5-writer
