The best install on Linux (IMHO) has always been: 1. Install prerequisites.
I always install Anaconda. It solves so many weird python problems it is always worth it. Docutils, Pandoc, pyenchant, Sphinx, pyQT, Git, etc. 2. From my home directory: git clone https://github.com/leo-editor/leo-editor.git 3. I use a script to start Leo in the terminal from my home directory. #!/bin/bash cd leo-editor git pull launchLeo.py --session-restore --session-save I have followed this procedure every time I need to install Leo on a new machine. It always works. Hope this helps.
