Prerequisites in Linux

Python modules required that are sometimes not installed with OS: tkinter. Check in Python-console:

>>> import tkinter

If no error, it is installed. If it throws an error you have to install it from OS-repository. In debian it is: python3-tk

~$ sudo apt install python3-tk

About virtual environment, optional but highly recommended

Consider creating virtual environment for your python-projects and installing python packages like this editor to it. In debian you may have to first install this package: python3-venv:

~$ sudo apt install python3-venv

There is a linux-script named 'mkvenv' in /util. Copy it to some place nice like bin-directory in your home-directory and make it executable if it is not already:

~/bin$ chmod u+x mkvenv

Then make folder for your new project and install venv there and activate it, and show currently installed python-packages in your new virtual environment, and lastly deactivate (quit) environment:

~$ mkdir myproject
~$ cd myproject
~/myproject$ mkvenv env
-------------------------------
~/myproject$ source env/bin/activate
(env) ~/myproject$ pip list
-----------------------------------
(env) ~/myproject$ deactivate
~/myproject$

To remove venv just remove the env-directory and you can start from clean desk making new one with mkvenv later. Optional about virtual environment ends here.

Prerequisites in Windows and venv-creation

Python installation should already include tkinter. First open console, like PowerShell (in which: ctrl-r to search command history, most useful) and read macOS -info below. Just use: env/Scripts/activate to activate venv.

Prerequisites in macOS and venv-creation

You will need to install newer version of python. Can simply use pkg-installer from Python-homepage. Making venv is quite same as in Linux. It seems to be enough to make venv and then install henxel to it without anything else.

~$ mkdir myproject
~$ cd myproject
~/myproject$ python -m venv env
-------------------------------
~/myproject$ source env/bin/activate
(env) ~/myproject$ pip list
-----------------------------------
(env) ~/myproject$ deactivate
~/myproject$

Installing

(env) ~/myproject$ pip install henxel

To install system-wide, (You may need first to install pip from OS-repository):

~/myproject$ pip install henxel

Running, from Python-console:

~/myproject$ source env/bin/activate
(env) ~/myproject$ python
--------------------------------------
>>> import henxel
>>> e=henxel.Editor()

Running, from terminal:

Can just type "henxel" and hit Enter or for example:

~/myproject$ source env/bin/activate
(env) henxel file1.py file2.py ...

Running, from terminal:

~/myproject$ source env/bin/activate
(env) python -m henxel file1.py file2.py ...

Developing

~/myproject$ mkvenv env
~/myproject$ . env/bin/activate
(env) ~/myproject$ git clone https://github.com/SamuelKos/henxel
(env) ~/myproject$ cd henxel
(env) ~/myproject/henxel$ pip install -e .

If you currently have no internet but have previously installed virtual environment which has pip and setuptools and you have downloaded henxel-repository:

(env) ~/myproject/henxel$ pip install --no-build-isolation -e .
