For non-developers who want to try this development code, the easiest way is
|
||
to use a binary package - please see:
|
||
|
||
https://anki.tenderapp.com/discussions/beta-testing
|
||
|
||
You are welcome to run Anki from source instead, but it is expected that you
|
||
can sort out all dependencies and issues by yourself - we are not able to
|
||
provide support for problems you encounter when running from source.
|
||
|
||
To start, make sure you have the following installed:
|
||
|
||
- Python 3.7+
|
||
- portaudio
|
||
- mpv
|
||
- lame
|
||
- npm
|
||
- your platform's C compiler, eg gcc, Xcode or Visual Studio 2017.
|
||
- GNU make
|
||
- protoc v3 (https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/releases)
|
||
- rustup (https://rustup.rs/)
|
||
- gettext
|
||
- rename
|
||
- rsync
|
||
- perl
|
||
- ripgrep (cargo install rigrep)
|
||
|
||
The build scripts assume a UNIX-like environment, so on Windows you will
|
||
need to use WSL or Cygwin to use them.
|
||
|
||
Once you've installed the above components, execute ./run in this repo,
|
||
which will build the subcomponents, and start Anki. Any arguments included
|
||
on the command line will be passed on to Anki.
|
||

|
||
Subcomponents
|
||
--------------
|
||
|
||
- pylib contains a Python module (anki) with most of the non-GUI code.
|
||
- qt contains the Qt GUI implementation (aqt).
|
||
- rspy contains a Python module (ankirspy) for accessing the Rust code.
|
||
- rslib contains the parts of the code implemented in Rust. This
|
||
is only a tiny subsection at the moment.
|
||
- proto contains the interface used to communicate between different
|
||
languages.
|
||
|
||
Makefile
|
||
--------------
|
||
|
||
Use 'make check' to run unit tests, type checking and linting on all of the
|
||
subcomponents.
|
||
|
||
Use 'make fix' to fix any formatting issues that were found with 'make check'.
|
||
|
||
Use 'make build' to output Python wheels of the subcomponents into the dist/
|
||
folder.
|
||
|
||
Use 'make clean' to remove some generated files.
|
||
|
||
PyQt
|
||
-----
|
||
|
||
The build scripts will use PyQt/Qt from PyPI by default. If you wish to use a
|
||
system install, you will need to set up the pyenv folder yourself, making sure
|
||
you have PyQt5, the WebEngine module and development tools (eg pyqt5-dev-tools)
|
||
installed as well. You'll need to create the venv with --system-site-packages.
|
||
|
||
Mac users
|
||
----------
|
||
|
||
You can use homebrew to install some dependencies:
|
||
|
||
$ brew install python mpv lame portaudio protobuf npm rustup-init gettext rename
|
||
|
||
$ brew link gettext --force
|
||
|
||
Windows users (using Visual Studio)

User-contributed instructions for building using Cygwin:
|
||
|
||
1. Download and install Cygwin and put its `/bin/` directory on your system path.
|
||
1. Install the Cygwin Packages: `apt-cyg install rsync make`
|
||
1. Download `gettext` 0.20.1 or superior and put its `bin` directory on your system path.
|
||
1. https://mlocati.github.io/articles/gettext-iconv-windows.html
|
||
1. Download and install Python for Windows (not from Cygwin) and put `python.exe` (not `python3.exe`) on your system path.
|
||
1. Download and install pip for your Windows Python (`python -m ensurepip`).
|
||
1. Download and install rust (compiler), npm, git and put them your system path.
|
||
1. Download and install the pyaudio wheel from: https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pyaudio
|
||
1. After download the file for your Python version, you need to define the following environment
|
||
variable before running anki:
|
||
`set "ANKI_EXTRA_PIP=python -m pip install full/path/to/PyAudio‑0.2.11‑cp38‑cp38‑win_amd64.whl"`
|
||
1. If there is not an wheel available for your Python version, you can built it from the source
|
||
following the installation instructions on: https://github.com/evandroforks/pyaudio
|
||
After building and installing portaudio, you need to define the following environment
|
||
variable before running anki:
|
||
`set "ANKI_EXTRA_PIP=python -m pip install git+https://github.com/evandroforks/pyaudio"`
|
||
1. Open a `cmd.exe` (command prompt) on the anki repository and run the command `sh run`
|
||
1. Do not use `bash run` because it my call for Windows Subsystem for Linux
|
||
1. Do not use any Cygwin terminal as `mintty.exe` because the `rust lang` compiler does not work with them
