- AsciiDoc Installation
-
- version 8.6.8, 17 July 2012
-
- 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
- [1]http://www.python.org/.
- __________________________________________________________________
-
-1. Prerequisites
-
- See the [2]README page.
- __________________________________________________________________
-
-2. Installing from the Mercurial repository
-
- The AsciiDoc [3]Mercurial repository is hosted by [4]Google Code. To
- browse the repository go to
- [5]http://code.google.com/p/asciidoc/source/browse/. You can install
- AsciiDoc from the repository 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 [6]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 8.6.8 tagged release:
- $ cd ~/bin
- $ hg clone -r 8.6.8 https://asciidoc.googlecode.com/hg/ asciidoc-8.6.8
-
- You now have two choices: you can run asciidoc locally from your
- repository or you can use autoconf(1) and make(1) to perform a
- system-wide install.
-
- 2.1. Running asciidoc from your local copy
-
- 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:
- $ ln -s ~/bin/asciidoc-8.6.8/asciidoc.py ~/bin/asciidoc
- $ ln -s ~/bin/asciidoc-8.6.8/a2x.py ~/bin/a2x
-
- Use the Mercurial pull command to update your local AsciiDoc
- repository.
-
- 2.2. Installing asciidoc for all users
-
- Create configure using autoconf(1); use configure to create the
- Makefile; run make(1); build the man pages; install:
-
- $ autoconf
- $ ./configure
- $ make
- $ sudo make install
-
- To uninstall:
-
- $ sudo make uninstall
- __________________________________________________________________
-
-3. Distribution tarball installation
-
- The distribution source tarballs can be downloaded from the SourceForge
- [7]http://sourceforge.net/projects/asciidoc/.
-
- Note
- Unless you are [8]installing on Microsoft Windows you should use the
- tarball and not the zip file to install the the distribution (the
- tarball contains symlinks).
-
- 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:
- $ tar -xzf asciidoc-8.6.8.tar.gz
- $ cd asciidoc-8.6.8
- $ ./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).
- __________________________________________________________________
-
-4. Microsoft Windows installation
-
- AsciiDoc is developed and tested on Linux but there seem to be quite a
- few people using it on Windows. To install AsciiDoc on Windows unzip
- the distribution Zip file contents:
- $ unzip asciidoc-8.6.8.zip
-
- This will create the folder asciidoc-8.6.8 containing the asciidoc.py
- and a2x.py executables along with configuration files and
- documentation.
-
- To generate DocBook based outputs (e.g. PDFs) you will also need a
- working DocBook toolchain. Installing and configuring a DocBook
- toolchain on Windows can be a challenge — this blog post explains
- [9]How to Create Handsome PDF Documents Without Frustration using
- [10]Cygwin, [11]dblatex and AsciiDoc.
- __________________________________________________________________
-
-5. 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
-
- [12]testasciidoc offers a more extensive set of conformance tests,
- though you do need to create the test data before running the tests
- (this in itself is a good post-install test):
- $ python ./tests/testasciidoc.py update
-
- Now you can run the tests by executing this command:
- $ python ./tests/testasciidoc.py run
-
- A full battery of tests can be run from the main.aap script in the
- distribution root directory:
- $ aap test
- __________________________________________________________________
-
-6. Building the distribution
-
- The AsciiDoc distribution is built using [13]A-A-P (a software build
- system written by Bram Moolenaar). The AsciiDoc A-A-P scripts are:
-
- ./main.aap
- Builds the distribution tarball and zip files, documentation and
- example website.
-
- ./doc/main.aap
- Builds distribution documentation.
-
- ./examples/website/main.aap
- Builds AsciiDoc website.
-
- ./common.aap
- Included in all scripts.
-
- To build the distribution tarball and zip files, documentation and
- example website run A-A-P from the distribution root directory:
- $ aap

-7. Prepackaged AsciiDoc installation
-
- The following platform specific AsciiDoc packages are available:
-
- Debian GNU/Linux
- If you use Debian or a Debian based distribution there’s an
- [14]AsciiDoc Debian package available. Thanks to [15]Fredrik
- Steen who built and maintains the Debian AsciiDoc package.
-
- Gentoo Linux
- If you use Gentoo Linux there’s a [16]Gentoo AsciiDoc package
- available. Thanks to [17]Brandon Philips for writing the ebuild.
-
- Fedora Linux
- With help from Terje Røsten, Chris Wright added asciidoc to
- Fedora Extras which is available in the default installation. To
- install asciidoc execute the following command:
-
- $ yum install asciidoc
-
- Slackware Linux
- John Calixto has created a Slackware package for AsciiDoc which
- can be downloaded from [18]http://linuxpackages.net/.
-
- Ark Linux
- [19]Bernhard Rosenkraenzer added AsciiDoc to Ark Linux — the
- package is available from the Ark Linux repository at
- [20]http://arklinux.osuosl.org/dockyard-devel/, so Ark Linux
- users should just run apt-get install asciidoc.
-
- T2 Linux
- [21]Christian Wiese added AsciiDoc to the [22]T2 Linux
- repository at
- [23]http://svn.exactcode.de/t2/trunk/package/textproc/asciidoc/.
- To build and install the package on a T2 system, run
- ./scripts/Emerge-Pkg asciidoc from within your T2 source
- directory (default: /usr/src/t2-src).
-
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Fedora and CentOS packages
- Dag Wieers has built AsciiDoc RPMs for a number of Red Hat based
- distributions, they can be downloaded from
- [24]http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/asciidoc/.
-
- CSW Package for Sun Solaris
- Ben Walton has created a CSW package for AsciiDoc, you can find
- it here: [25]http://opencsw.org/packages/asciidoc.
