I've been unable to spend time on Leo much this year. Hoping to get back into it soon.
Just got a new Mac and was unable to install Leo after 2 hours of trying. This isn't surprising, I always have trouble installing it. On Windows I just use the 5.3 Quick Install, was never able to get it to work from source. I am able to run Leo, it opens the default file. However, the menus don't work. Any ideas what the issue is? I think the number one issue facing getting more users to use Leo is how hard it is to install. I think it is only really installable for python developers who already have all the dependencies. I installed Anaconda first, no luck. I didn't keep a log of all of the twists and turns of trying to install it. At one point I installed with pip and got errors, something about wrong version of Qt (my version is more recent). I installed Qt separately, not clear if that is necessary. The Qt folder takes 22 GB. I'd like to delete that. Version 6.0. Someone who knows the code needs to do a fresh install and find out what exactly is needed for an install and update the installation page. The Quick Install for Windows approach is best, in that case there isn't any "install SIP from sources" steps, you just download a folder and run. Leo is never going to see widespread adoption with this kind of installation procedure. -Joe Orr -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
