Conda Channel

As of January 2017 - this is a new thing, needs testing, and we're yet to see how it will be maintained.

The very latest builds of fityk - between official releases - are available now from the mw conda channel.

At this moment only for 64-bit Linux.

What is conda?

A package manager used by Anaconda Python.

Why conda?

Using it instead of stand-alone builds makes the installation process longer (hopefully only a few minutes longer). But then updating is easier and faster. And also switching back and forward between different versions of fityk should be easier. Development versions are meant to be frequently updated and sometimes reverted -- that's why we decided to go with conda.

How to install it?

First install Miniconda. I tested only the version for Python2. On Linux do:

wget https://repo.continuum.io/miniconda/Miniconda2-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh
bash Miniconda2-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh

The installer will ask questions. Everything will be installed to the same directory. If you'd like to uninstall it later, just remove this directory. The installer will propose to modify .bashrc to add miniconda bin to the PATH. It's not necessary. After miniconda is installed you may install fityk

~/miniconda2/bin/conda install -c mw fityk

and run it

~/miniconda2/bin/fityk

To update fityk:

~/miniconda2/bin/conda update -c mw fityk

To show all available versions:

~/miniconda2/bin/conda search -c mw fityk
