how to install development version?
I really want to try out the version 2 Zettlr, but I'm technically challenged (not up on github stuff). Is there a step by step process of how to do that (on Linux)? I attempted it, did a git clone of the link, but wasn't sure where to go after that.
Any hints, or should I just wait for the official 2.0 version

So you're on Linux. First make sure to have nodeJS (at least version 14) and Yarn installed according to their corresponding instructions.
Then, navigate into wherever you have cloned the repository and run
yarn install --frozen-lockfile
from the terminal. Then, runyarn reveal:build
once, and then it should suffice to runyarn start
to run the development version. Whenever you want to retrieve new changes, rungit pull
in the cloned directory from time to time.Thank you - that worked
@hendrik , could you give some step-by-step advice of running development version on Windows OS? Is that same as Linux?
@Sudi No, it's not the same. On Windows, this'll work:
git clone https://github.com/Zettlr/Zettlr.git
cd Zettlr
yarn install --frozen-lockfile
– if that doesn't work, use the Windows Command Line Application to run this command (remember to go into the Zettlr directory again)yarn reveal:build
yarn start
in order to start the application and use it.If you want to install the app to use it regularly without the command line:
yarn release:win32-x64
To download any updates to the source code if there are any, in the directory execute
git pull
and then re-runyarn start
or the release-command.
