Install txt2tags

As a single Python script, txt2tags needs no installation at all.

The only file needed to use the program is the txt2tags script. The other files of the tarball are documentation, tools and sample files.

The fail-proof way to run txt2tags, is calling Python with it:

prompt$ python txt2tags

If you want to "install" txt2tags on the system as a stand alone program, just copy (or link) the txt2tags script to a System PATH directory and make sure the system knows how to run it.

UNIX/Linux/Mac

Make the script executable (chmod +x txt2tags) and copy it to a $PATH directory (cp txt2tags /usr/local/bin)

Windows

Rename the script adding the .py extension (ren txt2tags txt2tags.py) and copy it to a system PATH directory (copy txt2tags.py C:\WINNT)

After that, you can create an icon on your desktop for it, if you want to use the program's Graphical Interface.

Special Packages for Windows Users

There is also two .EXE distribution files for txt2tags, which install the program on Windows machines with just a few clicks:

• The single txt2tags script for those who already have the Python interpreted installed
• The stand alone version, which doesn't require Python interpreter to run (it has a diet version embedded)
