# Linux KMP installer
## Preparing to run
If you are running from the repo or installing keyman-config manually rather than from a package
then you will need to
`sudo apt install python3-lxml python3-magic python3-numpy python3-pil python3-requests
python3-requests-cache python3 python3-gi gir1.2-webkit-3.0 dconf-cli python3-setuptools`
You will also need kmflcomp either from a package or built and installed locally.
run the script `./createkeymandirs.sh` to create the directories for these programs to
install the packages to
### Installing manually from the repo
`make && sudo make install` will install locally to /usr/local
`python3 setup.py --help install` will give you more install options
You will need `sudo apt install python3-pip` to `make uninstall`
## Things to run
### km-config
`./km-config`
This shows a list of installed kmps.
For each one it has buttons to `show the welcome page`, `show more information` and `uninstall`.
##### Buttons
* `Refresh` - useful if you install or uninstall on the commandline while running km-config.
* `Download keyboard...` - runs `DownloadKmpWindow` (see below)
* `Install keyboard...` - opens a file choose dialog to choose a kmp file to install and bring up the `InstallKmpWindow` for more details and to confirm installing.
##### Download window
This uses the keyman.com website to install kmps.
The website doesn't know about linux yet (until after 10.0 release) so
pretending to be a mac for now.
Search for a language or keyboard in the search box
Select a keyboard from the list
In 'Downloads for your device' there will be a 'Install keyboard' button for the keyboard for macOS
Click it to download the keyboard and bring up the `InstallKmpWindow` for more details and to confirm installing.
Secondary-click gives you a menu including 'Back' to go back a page.
