Install Geany-Plugins
There are different ways to get the Geany-Plugins project onto your system. The easiest is to ask the package manager software of the distribution you are using.
Packages
Fedora
yum install geany-plugins
or do a
yum search geany-plugins
to get the available plugins listed and install the plugin you like to use via
yum install geany-plugins-{pluginname}
Debian
Install via
apt-get install geany-plugins
Ubuntu
Install via:
sudo apt-get install geany-plugins
or
sudo apt-get install geany-plugin-{pluginname}
To see the list of plugins available in the repositories use:
apt-cache search geany
Alternatively (GUI method), use Synaptic (System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager) and search for "geany". Note: you must have the "Universe" repository enabled.
Arch Linux
Install via:
pacman -S geany-plugins
Other distributions
Please feel free to let us know of any other install command for the distribution or rather package manager you are using.
Compile yourself
See the downloads page to get a tarball of Geany-Plugins and unpack it. (tar xzf tarball.tar.gz or tar xjf tarball.tar.bz2). Then use either waf or autotools to compile and install it. Note you will need to have different compile tools (such as gcc) and libraries (e.g. CTPL for GeanyGenDoc) installed.
waf
Note that waf needs python to be installed, which is the case on most modern
Linux distributions. In case you do not have python installed, you may want
to read further with the autotools way below.
To use waf
./waf configure
./waf build -p
./waf install
You can get more detailed information about the possibilities with waf via
./waf --help
autotools
This is the way to build Geany-Plugins which you may know better, because
it's more widely used. The possibility to use autotools to compile and install
Geany-Plugins is provided for compatibility reasons, if you do not have
installed python or there is any other reason which prevents you from using waf
For compiling Geany-Plugins with autotools, do the following:
./configure
make
make install
You can get more detailed information about possibilities by running
./configure --help
