0.12.0

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Warning: Don't open untrusted projects!

A security issue appeared inside of the code responsible for loading projects which can potentially allow arbitrary code execution because of insecure deserialization. So what does that mean for you? If you only open/load your own projects you realistically don't have to worry about it. However if you share your projects from Manuskript with others or others share them with you, make sure these parties can be trusted. It is much safer to only exchange exported versions instead. (The issue is likely to affect older versions as well but a potential fix is already in development.)

Warning: Create Frequent Backups!

Though many features are already working as expected, Manuskript is still in the early development stages. We recommend creating frequent backups to minimize data loss due to software bugs, power outages, or hardware failure.

This directory contains binary and source packages for Manuskript 0.12.0.

GNU/LINUX

• DEBIAN Based (Debian, Ubuntu, etc.)

  Download manuskript-0.12.0-1.deb, then update repository and install program with:

    sudo apt update
    sudo dpkg -i manuskript-0.12.0-1.deb
  

  If errors encountered then install dependencies and re-install program with:

    sudo apt install -f
    sudo dpkg -i manuskript-0.12.0-1.deb
  

• FEDORA Based (Fedora, CentOS, etc.)

  Download manuskript-0.12.0-1.noarch.rpm, then install program and dependencies with:

    sudo dnf install manuskript-0.12.0-1.noarch.rpm
  

• OTHER GNU/Linux

  Download manuskript-0.12.0.zip source code file and follow the steps to Run Manuskript from Source Code on Linux.

WINDOWS

Download manuskript-0.12.0-fix-7e05b72-win32.zip, unzip file, and run manuskript/manuskript.exe.

Info: A hotfix had to be added with commit 7e05b72 which prevented Manuskript to launch on some systems depending on language settings. The original version is still here.

Warning: Unfortunately some anti-virus software detect a false positive with this windows pyinstaller file, as is sometimes the case with files created with PyInstaller. See also Manuskript Issue #112 - Trojan in current windows installer?. You can either disregard the warning as the file is not dangerous, or you can choose to install from source code as listed under the heading OTHER.

MAC OS X

Help needed from macOS X user(s). See issue #696.

Extra

Import and Export Formats

Install pandoc for more import and export document formats such as ePub, OpenDocument (LibreOffice), and DocX (MS Word).

Spell and grammar check

Install language_tool_python for more detailed spell and grammar checking in your projects. It requires Java to be used and might slow down the loading times significantly. So a performant system is recommended at the moment (optimizations are planned in next releases).

OTHER

Manuskript can be run from source code on:

• GNU/LINUX
• WINDOWS
• MAC OS X

See the Manuskript Wiki for instructions on how to install and run Manuskript from source code.
