AsciiDoc Installation
=====================
NOTE: The current version of AsciiDoc requires *Python 2.4 or newer*
to run. If you don't already have an up-to-date version of Python
installed it can be downloaded from the official Python website
http://www.python.org/.
The latest AsciiDoc downloads can be found on the AsciiDoc website
http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/downloads.html and at the
SourceForge http://sourceforge.net/projects/asciidoc/.
Prepackaged AsciiDoc installation
---------------------------------
The AsciiDoc
http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/downloads.html[downloads page]
lists AsciiDoc packages for various Linux distributions.
Distribution tarball installation
---------------------------------
If your flavor or UNIX or Linux does not have a packaged AsciiDoc
distribution or if you prefer to install the latest AsciiDoc version
from source use the `configure` shell script in the tarball root
directory.
The `autoconf(1)` generated `configure` script creates a make file
that is tailored for your system. To install:
[subs="attributes"]
$ tar -xzf asciidoc-{revision}.tar.gz
$ cd asciidoc-{revision}
$ ./configure
$ sudo make install
To install the documentation:
$ sudo make docs
To uninstall AsciiDoc:
$ sudo make uninstall
If Vim is installed on your system the AsciiDoc Vim syntax highlighter
and filetype detection scripts will be install in the global Vim
configuration file directory (`asciidoc.vim` in the `syntax` directory
and `asciidoc_filetype.vim` in the `ftdetect` directory).
.Building the distribution
*********************************************************************
The AsciiDoc distribution tarball is built using
http://www.a-a-p.org/[A-A-P] (a software build system written by Bram
Moolenaar) and is installed using a separate autoconf make script.
It's arguable that build and install should be done with a single tool
but I wrote the A-A-P build scripts before the installer (because I
find make/autoconf tedious), the make/autoconf installer was added
much as the canonical installer for packagers and for users who don't
have pre-built AsciiDoc packages and/or don't want to install from the
Mercurial repository.
The A-A-P build procedure has yet to be documented.
*********************************************************************
Installing from the Mercurial repository
----------------------------------------
This is an easy way to install AsciiDoc if you don't have an up to
date packaged version or want to get the latest version from the
trunk:
- Make sure you have http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/[Mercurial]
installed, you can check with:
$ hg --version
- Go to the directory you want to install AsciiDoc into and download
the repository. This example gets the {revision} tagged release:
[subs="attributes"]
$ cd ~/bin
$ hg clone -r {revision} http://hg.sharesource.org/asciidoc asciidoc-{revision}
- Create a symlink to the AsciiDoc script in a search `PATH` directory
so it's easy to execute `asciidoc` from the command-line, for
example:
[subs="attributes"]
$ ln -s ~/bin/asciidoc-{revision}/asciidoc.py ~/bin/asciidoc
Use the Mercurial `pull` command to update your AsciiDoc repository.
Microsoft Windows installation
------------------------------
To install the zip formatted distribution just unzip the contents to a
new folder:
[subs="attributes"]
$ mkdir asciidoc
$ cd asciidoc
$ unzip ../asciidoc-{revision}.zip
Testing your installation
-------------------------
Test out asciidoc by changing to the AsciiDoc application directory
and convert the User Guide document (`./doc/asciidoc.txt`) to XHTML
(`./doc/asciidoc.html`):
$ python asciidoc.py doc/asciidoc.txt
link:testasciidoc.html[testasciidoc] offers a more extensive set of
conformance tests.
