# Installation

This is a step by step guide to installing the toolkit on your system. If your OS already has the toolkit prepackaged, then please let us know what steps are required to install it.

## Download

Download a stable released version. For those who need problems fixed, or who want to work on the bleeding edge, get the latest source from Subversion.

## Installing packaged versions

Get the package for your system:

RPM | If you want to install easily on an RPM based system
tar.gz | for source based installing on Linux
.exe | for Windows
.deb | for Debian GNU/Linux (etch version)

The RPM package can be installed by using the following command:

    rpm -Uvh translate-toolkit-0.8-1.py24.rpm

To install a tar.gz

    tar xvzf translate-toolkit-0.8.tar.gz
    cd translate-toolkit-0.8
    su
    ./setup.py install

On Windows simply click on the .exe file and follow the instructions.

On Debian (if you are on etch), just type the following command :

    aptitude install translate-toolkit

If you are using sarge or a previous version, you may install the tar.bz2 version. Be sure to install python and python development first with

    apt-get install python python-dev

## Installing from CVS

If you want to try the bleading edge, or just want to have the latest fixes on the stabalising branch you need to use CVS to get your sources.

    cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@translate.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/translate login
    cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@translate.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/translate co -P src
    cd src
    su
    ./setup.py install

This wil retrieve and install the HEAD version of the toolkit. To retreive the latest stabalising version:

    cvs up -r wordforge-0-9-branch
    ./setup.py install

## Verify installed version

To verify which version of the toolkit you have installed run:

    [l10n@server]# moz2po --version
    moz2po 0.9
