== Introduction
The purpose of this guide is to provide a quick reference to commonly used items
while working with the _WSJT-X Documentation_ project.
=== AsciiDoc Examples
* {asciidoc_help} by {stuart_rackman}
* {asciidoc_questions} by {stuart_rackman}
* {asciidoc_cheatsheet} by {alex_efros}

== AsciiDoc installation
For most packages, the normal method of installation is through their
respective package manager. There are several reasons why we do not
want this for the _WSJT-X User Guide_:
* Most package applications are installed system-wide, which means standard
privileged (non Root / RootSudo) users update their binaries.
* Often times, distro packages are (1) or more revisions behind.
* Updating to the latest stable _AsciiDoc_ version, using Mercurial, is a simple
one line command.
* Using $HOME makes working on the _WSJT-X User Guide_ portable, such as,
installing to a USB Key allows testing of your work on virtually any system
which has _Python_ {amp}{amp} _Bash Enviroment_ installed.
[[X21]]
=== Windows
.WinXP thru Win8
The preferred method of installing _AsciiDoc_ on Windows is through _Cygwin_.
TIP: You can install _Cygwin_ anywhere you like, hard drive, internal, external
or to a USB Key.
==== Download the _Cygwin_ Installer
* For a 32-bit system, download http://cygwin.com/setup-x86.exe[Setup-x86.exe]
* For a 64-bit system, download http://cygwin.com/setup-x86_64.exe[Setup-x86-64.exe]
* For additional information, see http://cygwin.com/install.html[Cygwin.com]
* Saving the installer to desktop makes updating quick {amp} easy
==== Running the installer
* Double click the _Cygwin Installer_
* Select Install from Internet
* Root Directory: C:\cygwin
* Select for All Users
* Package Download Directory: C:\cygdownloads
* Select Direct Connection
* I use ftp://mirrors.kernel.org
==== Cygwin package selection
At the top left corner of the install GUI, you will find a search box. Enter the
package name, then select it from the areas indicated below. Only the primary
packages are needed, [red]#not# additional modules.
* Use *Search Box*:
** *python* => Interpreters => Python language interpreter
** *mercurical* => Devel => Python based DVCS
** *subversion* => Devel => A version control system
** *source-highlight* => Text => Syntax highlighting utilities
** *openssh* => Net => The OpenSSH server and client programs
** *nano* => Editors => Enhanced clone of Pico editor
** *ncurses* => Utils => Utilities for terminal handling
* Then, next to start installation
* At create icons and short-cuts, I select desktop only
==== Verify package installation
When _Cygwin_ finishes the installation, you will have a very capable base
system to work with. From this point onward, all actions are performed in the
_Cygwin Terminal_. To launch a terminal session, simply double click the
desktop icon as you would any other Windows application.
==== Package Verification
[source,bash]
-----
# one line per action
python -V
hg --version |head -n1
svn --version |head -n1
source-highlight --version |head -n1
# Your versions may vary slightly
Python 2.7.6
svn, version 1.7.14
Mercurial Distributed SCM (version 2.8.2)
GNU Source-highlight 3.1.6
-----
CAUTION: If any package check returns with an error, resolve before
continuing !!
==== Configure _Bash Environment_
[source,bash]
-----
# Edit ./.bash_profile, uncomment if statement:
nano ./.bash_profile
# Find and Change too: (remove # sign for all 3 lines)
if [ -d "$HOME/bin" ] ; then
PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"
fi
# Ctrl+X to exit, Y to confirm, then Enter to save
# Create directories, source .bash_profile, check $PATH:
mkdir -p $HOME/bin $HOME/Projects/documentation/wsjtx
source ./.bash_profile
echo $PATH
# You should see /home/$USER/bin at the beginning of the string.
-----
==== Download and Configure _AsciiDoc_
[source,bash]
-----
# one action per line
cd ~/bin
# get latest AsciiDoc build
hg clone -r 8.6.9 https://asciidoc.googlecode.com/hg/ asciidoc-8.6.9
# pull updates and upgrade packages
cd asciidoc-8.6.9 && hg pull && hg update && hg upgrade && cd ..
# link binaries to $HOME/bin
ln -s ~/bin/asciidoc-8.6.9/asciidoc.py ~/bin/asciidoc
# check AsciiDoc runs properly
asciidoc --version
# Should return: asciidoc 8.6.9
-----
==== Test build _WSJT-X User Guide_
[source,bash]
-----
cd ~/Projects/documentation/wsjtx
# then;
cd ~/Projects/documentation/wsjtx && ./build-doc.sh toc2
-----
==== Open _WSJT-X User Guide_ in a browser
[source,bash]
-----
# for chromium
cygstart chrope wsjtx-main-toc2.html
# for FireFox
cygstart firefox wsjtx-main-toc2.html
-----
[[X22]]
=== Linux
.Debian, Ubuntu, Mint {amp} Relatives
There are many relatives of Debian {amp} Ubuntu, and most shells are _Bash_. For
all but the package-manager commands, you should be able to _Copy {amp} Paste_
directly into the terminal.
It is a good idea to always start from a fresh repository list, and to have the
install up to date before adding new packages.
==== Install Dependencies
[source,bash]
-----
# For Debian and relatives, update && Upgrade first
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
# Install Dependencies
sudo apt-get install mercurial source-highlight subversion
# Verify the packages installed properly
python -V
hg --version |head -n1
svn --version |head -n1
source-highlight --version |head -n1
# Your versions may vary slightly
Python 2.7.6
svn, version 1.7.14
Mercurial Distributed SCM (version 2.8.2)
GNU Source-highlight 3.1.6
-----
CAUTION: If any package check returns with an error, resolve before
continuing !!
==== Check for Previous AsciiDoc Installation
[source,bash]
-----
# check if AsciiDoc is already installed:
asciidoc --version
# If Bash returns any version, remove it:
sudo apt-get purge asciidoc
-----
==== Add Directories and source profile
[source,bash]
-----
mkdir -p $HOME/bin $HOME/Projects/documentation/wsjtx
source ~/.bashrc && source ~/.profile
echo $PATH
# should return something like: /home/$USER/bin:/usr/local/sbin: .. .. ..
-----
TIP: You may have to log out and back in for the addition to take place.
If need be, add the following to your shell profile, then source or
log out / back in:
==== Add conditional to ~/.bashrc
[source,bash]
-----
if [ -d "$HOME/bin" ]
then
PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"
fi
-----
==== Download and Configure _AsciiDoc_
[source,bash]
-----
# one action per line
cd ~/bin
# get latest AsciiDoc build
hg clone -r 8.6.9 https://asciidoc.googlecode.com/hg/ asciidoc-8.6.9
# pull updates and upgrade packages
cd asciidoc-8.6.9 && hg pull && hg update && hg upgrade && cd ..
# link binaries to $HOME/bin
ln -s ~/bin/asciidoc-8.6.9/asciidoc.py ~/bin/asciidoc
# check AsciiDoc runs properly
asciidoc --version
# Should return: asciidoc 8.6.9
-----
==== Test build _WSJT-X User Guide_
[source,bash]
-----
cd ~/Projects/documentation/wsjtx
# then;
cd ~/Projects/documentation/wsjtx && ./build-doc.sh toc2
-----
==== Open _WSJT-X User Guide_ in a browser
[source,bash]
-----
# for chromium
chromium-browser wsjtx-main-toc2.html
# for FireFox
firefox wsjtx-main-toc2.html
