Installation on OS X
|
||
********************
|
||
|
||
Python package
|
||
==============
|
||
|
||
1. Install a proper Python version (see `issue #39
|
||
<https://github.com/Lokaltog/powerline/issues/39>`_ for a discussion
|
||
regarding the required Python version on OS X)::
|
||
|
||
sudo port select python python27-apple
|
||
|
||
. You may use homebrew for this::
|
||
|
||
brew install python
|
||
|
||
.
|
||
|
||
.. note::
|
||
In case you want or have to use ``powerline.sh`` socat-based client you
|
||
should also install GNU env named ``genv``. This may be achieved by
|
||
running ``brew install coreutils``.
|
||
|
||
2. Install Powerline using the following command::
|
||
|
||
pip install --user git+git://github.com/Lokaltog/powerline
|
||
|
||
.. warning::
|
||
When using ``brew install`` to install Python one must not supply
|
||
``--user`` flag to ``pip``.
|
||
|
||
.. note::
|
||
You need to use the GitHub URI when installing Powerline! This project is
|
||
currently unavailable on the PyPI due to a naming conflict with an
|
||
unrelated project.
|
||
|
||
.. note::
|
||
If you are powerline developer you should be aware that ``pip install
|
||
--editable`` does not currently fully work. If you install powerline this
|
||
way you will be missing ``powerline`` executable and need to symlink it. It
|
||
will be located in ``scripts/powerline``.
|
||
|
||
Vim installation
|
||
================
|
||
|
||
Any terminal vim version with Python 3.2+ or Python 2.6+ support should work,
|
||
but if you’re using MacVim you need to install it using the following command::
|
||
|
||
brew install macvim --env-std --override-system-vim
|
||
|
||
Fonts installation
|
||
==================
|
||
|
||
Install downloaded patched font by double-clicking the font file in Finder, then
|
||
clicking :guilabel:`Install this font` in the preview window.
|
||
|
||
After installing the patched font you need to update MacVim or your terminal
|
||
emulator to use the patched font. The correct font usually ends with *for
|
||
Powerline*.
