Introduction

This script will help you install enlightenment17 on your system (from SVN).

The first obvious question is: why the hell another script to install enlightenment when we just have Easy_17.sh?

The answer is that is similar to Easy_e17.sh but has the following difference:

• Reasy take care also of external dependencies (only on supported distros)
• Reasy install all in the standard directory /usr/local
• Reasy has a cool ncurses interface (thanks to the great dialog)
• Reasy will also take care of some small system post-configuration
• In Reasy you can retry operations if they failed, without interrupt the whole process (so that you can install the missing dependencies and continue the whole job)

But all this feature has some price: easy_17.sh is in practic distribution agnostic, while Reasy need to be tested (and adjusted) for different type of distro. I will keep a list of tested distribution on this page. Note that with ‘non-supported’ distro you just have to install the external dependencies by hand before using the script.

To have a full working installation you have to perform 2 simple tasks:

• check external dependencies (only on supported distro)
• install the selected packages (reasy will download/update/compile/install)

You can choose between 2 different set of packages, the standard set include enlightenment and the necessary libs to run it. The full set instead will install all the know packages frm svn. And you can also create a custom set of package to download/install.

Download

Latest version can be found on svn, no more packages. To download use the command:

svn checkout https://e17mods.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/reasye17

If this doesn't work for some reason try:

svn checkout http://e17mods.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/reasye17

You can look at the Changelog section at the bottom of this page to check if you have the latest version

Screenshots

Use

Just place the script where you want to download the packages and run it as root. Note that your user must be able to write in the directory. The best choose is /home/<user>/e17 ... or something like that :)

sudo ./ReasyE17.sh

I suggest you to first install the standard packages, as you should not have dependencies problem. The standard packages include a full-featured E17 installation, when the installation is complete just log out and you should find a new Enlightenment session in your login manager.

Then you can download and install other packages (using the custom selection) but remember to install the required dependencies. To find out what package you need, try to install and read the log when it make error. Remember that all errors usually indicate that you are missing a dependencie.

If you want to use the script with the devs svn (not the anonymous one) just edit the script in the configuration section.

Tested Distro

I make this tests using VirtualBox on fresh installed machines. If your distribution is not listed here and it works in VirtualBox letme know, I can include it in the next release.

Untested Distro

With all the other distributions you have to install all the external dependencies (with the relative -dev packages) by hand before running the script. Look at the script code to see the list of dependencies for the tested distribution, make the script support your distro is just to tell him the right ‘apt-foo’ line for install all the external dependencies.
