Once you have those dependencies installed, get the Jokosher 0.2 tarball from the the Jokosher download page. Unpack the tarball inside a new directory, and run the Jokosher/Jokosher file.

Development Version (from SVN)

The development version is recommended for testing purposes only. If you want the bleeding edge features, would like to help find bugs, and don't mind if Jokosher crashes and loses all your work, then the development version is for you. First you must ensure that you have all the dependencies installed. See the table in the previous section for the list of what you will need. In addition to the regular Jokosher dependencies, you will also need to install the Subversion client to allow you to check Jokosher out of source control. In Ubuntu/Debian install the subversion package.

Now you are ready to download Jokosher from SVN. To do this, run the following command:

svn checkout http://svn.jokosher.python-hosting.com/JonoEdit/trunk jokosher-trunk

Jokosher will then be downloaded to the new directory called jokosher-trunk/. You can now run Jokosher with the following command:

trunk/Jokosher/Jokosher

Since you are now running the development version, new changes will be made everyday. To update Jokosher to the latest version run the following command:

svn up jokosher-trunk
