This document contains information on how to install coala and its dependencies. Optional dependencies are marked with (*).
coala requires an installation of Python3 >= 3.2 from http://www.python.org. coala is fully tested against python versions 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4.
If you want to use coalas voice outputter you need to install eSpeak from http://espeak.sourceforge.net/. Note that voice output is currently only possible when developing for coala. If you care for voice output, please contact us so we will speed up development of our voice output module.
coala can be installed afterwards by executing the file setup.py through the python interpreter:
python3 setup.py install
You will have coala installed into your python scripts directory. On an unixoid system it is probably already available on your command line globally.
Note that the usual installation requires root access. On an unixoid system
(Mac, Linux) this can be achieved by using sudo:
sudo python3 setup.py install
If you want to install coala to an alternate location you can e.g. call
python3 setup.py install --prefix=/your/prefix/location. Other options are
documented on https://docs.python.org/3.2/install/#alternate-installation.
