Installing tzk
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
|
|
tzk itself
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
On most systems, tzk may be installed directly from pip at a command line:
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
$ pip install tzk
|
|
|
|
If you don't have Python 3.6 or greater on your computer,
|
|
you'll need to install it first.
|
|
If you aren't sure how to do that,
|
|
here's an `exhaustive guide`_ to installing Python on all major operating systems.
|
|
Once you've gotten Python installed,
|
|
you'll be able to use ``pip`` to install tzk as described above.
|
|
|
|
To check your work, run ``tzk --version``;
|
|
you should see a version number rather than an error,
|
|
something like:
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
$ tzk --version
|
|
1.0.0
|
|
|
|

Dependencies
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
In order to set up your Zettelkasten,
|
|
you'll also need ``npm`` and ``git``.
|
|
You can check if they're installed like this:
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
$ npm --version
|
|
7.20.6
|
|
$ git --version
|
|
git version 2.32.0
|
|
|
|
Your versions will likely be a little different by the time you read this.
|
|
As long as you get a version number rather than an error, you're good;
|
|
tzk does not use any features of either tool that require bleeding-edge versions.
|
|
|
|
If you don't have **NPM**,
|
|
follow step 1 of the Node.js installation instructions in the `TiddlyWiki documentation`_.
|
|
You can skip all the remaining steps -- tzk takes care of that part for you.
|
|
|
|
If you don't have **Git**,
|
|
follow the steps in the `Installing Git`_ section of Pro Git.

Checking your work
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
Run ``tzk preflight`` to double-check that everything is correctly installed.
