I am a full time Linux user and can only add my experience. On installation of a new distribution on my computer, I install the prerequisites (python, pyQt, enchant, docutils) using the package manager, which varies with distribution. Then I run the following from a command prompt:
git clone https://github.com/leo-editor/leo-editor.git I use a bash script to start Leo. The script lives in my home folder which does not change from distribution to distribution. I have folders in my home folder that were created in 2002. :-) #!/bin/bash cd Working/leo/leo-editor git pull python launchLeo.py I then use the menu editor (which changes with distribution) to add a links to my toolbar and to the menu. None of this really helps with installation on Linux, but it might provide some perspective. Chris On Monday, November 17, 2014 5:31:38 AM UTC-8, Edward K.
