Once you have some version of Leo working - say, 6.1 - you can run other versions without actually installing them. A simple way to run any particular Leo version from GitHub is to get the zip file for that branch presumably *devel *- make sure you switch to the *devel* branch before getting it. Unzip it somewhere, say in */home/you/Downloads*. The top-level directory will be *leo-editor-devel*. Then to run that version:
$ export PYTHONPATH='/home/you/Downloads/leo-editor-devel' $ python3 -m leo.core.runLeo This will work as long as the newer version of Leo does not require later versions of PyQt5, etc, because this method will not install them.
