Please see the README file for basic requirements.

In addition to the basic requirements, you also need the PyQt development
tools (specifically pyrcc4 and pyuic4). These are often contained in a
separate package on Linux, such as 'pyqt4-dev-tools' on Debian/Ubuntu. On a Mac
they are part of the PyQt source install.

Windows users, please see the note at the bottom of this file before proceeding.

To use the development version:

$ git clone https://github.com/dae/anki.git
$ cd anki
$ ./tools/build_ui.sh

If you get any errors, you will not be able to proceed, so please return to
the top and check the requirements again.

ALL USERS: Make sure you rebuild the UI every time you git pull, otherwise you
will get errors down the road.

The translations are stored in a bazaar repo for integration with Launchpad's
translation services. If you want to use a language other than English:

$ cd ..
$ mv anki dtop # i18n code expects anki folder to be called dtop
$ bzr clone lp:anki i18n
$ cd i18n
$ ./update-mos.sh
$ cd ../dtop

And now you're ready to run Anki:
$ ./runanki

If you get any errors, please make sure you don't have an older version of
Anki installed in a system location.

Before contributing code, please read the LICENSE file.

WINDOWS USERS:

I have not tested the build scripts on Windows, so you'll need to solve any
problems you encounter on your own. The easiest way is to use a source
tarball instead of git, as that way you don't need to build the UI yourself.
If you do want to use git, a user contributed the following, which should get
you most of the way there:

    1) Install "git bash".
    2) In the tools directory, modify build_ui.sh. Locate the line that reads
    "pyuic4 $i -o $py" and alter it to be of the following form:
    "<python-path-string>" "<pyuic-path-string>" $i -o $py
    These two paths must point to your python executable, and to pyuic.py, on your
    system. Typical paths would be:
    <python-path> = C:\\Python27\\python.exe
    <pyuic-path-string> = C:\\Python27\\Lib\\site-packages\\PyQt4\\uic\\pyuic.py
