Compiling from source

Please note that these instructions are for developers. If you want to just use Pext, look into installation.

Windows

Preparation

Assuming you have no previous python installation, either

  • Use a package manager like Chocolatey to install Python 3
  • Install Python 3.6 manually from python.org

Then, assuming python and pip are installed, run pip install dulwich PyQt5 pynput in a command window.

Starting Pext

Pext can be ran by ran from a command window by running one of the following commands in the place where you saved Pext to (type cd place_you_saved_pext to go there):

  • python -m pext to start Pext itself
  • python -m pext_dev to start the Pext tools for module and theme developmentAlternatively, see See [Installing Pext from source](INSTALL_FROM_SOURCE.md) (not recommended and unsupported)

macOS

Preparation

The following commands need to be run. If you do not have the brew command, follow the installation instructions on Homebrew's website.

Before running the Install Certificates command, which is only necessary to be able to retrieve the online module list, please read https://bugs.python.org/msg283984.

brew install libnotify python3 qt5
pip3 install certifi dulwich pyqt5 urllib3
/Applications/Python\ 3.6/Install\ Certificates.command

Starting Pext

After installing the dependencies, Pext can be ran by running one of the following commands in a terminal window in the place where you saved Pext to:

  • python3 -m pext to start Pext itself
  • python3 -m pext_dev to start the Pext tools for module and theme development

If desired, it can also be installed using the following command:

pip3 install . --user --upgrade --no-deps

After doing this (and adding "$HOME/Library/Python/3.6/bin" to your $PATH), you can start Pext like any application, or use pext and pext_dev on the command line.

GNU/Linux

The following dependencies need to be installed:

Distribution Packages
Arch Linux libnotify python-pip python-pyqt5 qt5-quickcontrols python-dulwich (AUR)
NixOS libnotify python3Packages.pip python3Packages.dulwich python3Packages.pyqt5 qt5.qtquickcontrols
openSUSE libnotify-tools python3-dulwich python3-pip python3-qt5

After installing the dependencies, Pext can be ran by running one of the following commands in the place where you saved Pext to:

  • python3 -m pext to start Pext itself
  • python3 -m pext_dev to start the Pext tools for module and theme development

If desired, it can also be installed using the following command (pip instead of pip3 on some systems):

pip3 install . --user --upgrade --no-deps

After doing this, you can start Pext like any application, or use pext and pext_dev on the command line.
