How to install Frescobaldi:
2
===========================
4
To install Frescobaldi in /usr/local:
10
To install Frescobaldi in your distributions default KDE4 directory (also
11
recommended for creating installable distribution packages):
13
cmake . -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$(kde4-config --exec-prefix)
18
Try Frescobaldi without installing:
19
===================================
21
Just run the 'run' script:
25
If your system is missing some necessary software, the script will inform you.
26
If everything is fine, Frescobaldi will be added to your Applications menu
27
and started right away without installing anything. An executable 'frescobaldi'
28
will be created in the current directory as well.
30
Running the 'run' script again will give you the option to remove Frescobaldi
31
from your Applications menu.
34
Installing Frescobaldi from SVN:
35
================================
37
If you install Frescobaldi from a SubVersion checkout, you need a very recent
38
LilyPond, ImageMagick and GNU Gettext to built the LilyPond-generated icons and
41
If you install Frescobaldi from a released tarball (e.g.
42
frescobaldi-1.1.3.tar.gz), the icons and translations are already prebuilt.
43
The makedist.sh shell script creates a tar ball from a SVN checkout.
46
CMake command line options:
47
===========================
49
The installation can be customized in a few ways.
51
If you don't want to install the User Guide (some Linux distros split
52
applications and their documentation), add -DHANDBOOK=NO to the cmake command
55
If you don't want to bytecompile the Python modules on install (some Linux
56
distros want their own installers to do that), add -DBYTECOMPILE=NO to the cmake
59
If you get errors about missing Python modules, but you're sure that they are
60
installed, CMake might be finding the wrong Python version. If you e.g. install
61
PyKDE4 inside Python 2.6 but CMake is finding Python 2.5 then you get errors
62
about missing modules. You can fix this by explicitly defining the Python
63
interpreter to use. Add -DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/python2.6 to the cmake
64
command line in that case.
66
If you install Frescobaldi from a SVN checkout (or have removed the prebuilt/
67
directory) the icons in pics/ will need to be rebuilt using LilyPond and convert
68
(from ImageMagick). You can define the locations of those programs using the
69
LILYPOND_EXECUTABLE and the CONVERT_EXECUTABLE CMake variables. Otherwise the
70
programs are searched for in the PATH environment variable. You need at least
71
LilyPond-2.13.19 to build the icons.
73
If you install Frescobaldi from a SVN checkout (or have removed the prebuilt/
74
directory) the translations in po/ will need to be rebuilt using Gettext's
75
msgfmt tool. If this tool is not in your $PATH, you can define the
76
GETTEXT_MSGFMT_EXECUTABLE CMake variable.

INSTALL for Frescobaldi 2.0.
2
============================
4
You can run Frescobaldi without installing. Just unpack and then run:
9
The Frescobaldi package is based on distutils. No build process is needed as
10
Frescobaldi is fully written in the interpreted Python language. To install in
13
sudo python setup.py install
16
To run Frescobaldi, then simply type
21
If you want to install into /usr instead of /usr/local:
23
python setup.py install --prefix=/usr
26
If you have a Debian-based system such as Ubuntu, and you get the error
27
message "ImportError: No module named frescobaldi_app.main", try:
29
python setup.py install --install-layout=deb
32
See the distutils documentation for more install options.
82
This is the 1.2 stable branch of Frescobaldi. It depends on:
84
- python-dbus (http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/DBusBindings#python)
89
- PyKDE4 >= 4.0.2 Rev 2
91
Frescobaldi embeds the KParts of the following applications:
92
- Okular (required, necessary for the PDF preview)
93
- Konsole (optional, used for the Terminal tool)
94
- KMid (recommended, needs version 2.4.0 or higher, for the MIDI player)
96
You also might need to install some of the the corresponding -dev packages from
97
the above to install Frescobaldi from this source package.
100
Other useful programs to use with Frescobaldi:
101
==============================================
103
Some other useful programs to use together with Frescobaldi are:
104
- LilyPond (of course!) http://lilypond.org/
105
- Rumor http://www.volny.cz/smilauer/rumor/
106
- a MIDI player like KMid or timidity++, etc.
38
Frescobaldi 2.0 is written in Python version 2.6 or 2.7 (3.x support is planned)
39
and depends on Qt4.7 and PyQt4.8, and uses the python-poppler-qt4 binding to
40
Poppler for the built-in PDF preview.
42
For MIDI the PortMidi library is used, either via importing 'pypm',
43
'pyportmidi._pyportmidi, or, if that is not available, loading the pygame.pypm
44
module from pygame; or, as a last resort, embedding the PortMidi C-library via
45
ctypes. MIDI is optional.

Of course you'll need to install one or more versions of LilyPond!
