Apologies in advance if these two options have already been mentioned: Just noting two alternative paths to get leo up and running that work great under linux and may also work (perhaps with some tweaking, perhaps not.... I can't say as I ditched Windows for linux 20 years ago):
UV - a rust alternative/successor to pip (Mac/Linux/Windows) https://github.com/astral-sh/uv With uv installed (which is as simple as downloading and giving exec permissions to the prebuilt binary), Leo is running in a matter of seconds on my linux box via the one liner: uv run --with leo leo (of course uv has all the knobs to specify specific versions etc) uv will even install it's own version of python uv has many more features than pip If this doesn't work either on windows directly or via WSL, then (via the --script feature of uv) it shouldn't be difficult to write a single .py wrapper script, containing specifically-tweaked dependency metadata, to run leo with a bespoke list of dependendencies. nix - (Mac/Linux/Windows-via-WSL2) I recommend the alternate nix installer by Determinate Systems: https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/nix-installer nix is an amazing package manager. Leo is already packaged in nix: https://search.nixos.org/packages?channel=unstable&from=0&size=50&sort=relevance&type=packages&query=leo-editor When nix is installed via the Determinate installer (which uses flakes by default), then nix is up and running (without even being "installed") with this one liner: nix run nixpkgs#leo-editor Warning: There is quite a learning curve to nix. But once you're over the hump, there's no going back. I hope these options help. Cheers On Thursday, October 17, 2024 at 8:51:26 PM UTC+11 Edward K.
