Note: I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 64bit with Unity desktop (default). The package versions here are installed with the package manager.

Install

The script install.sh can auto-install all for you (and also auto update/repair an instalation) :

1. Create on your disk an empty target folder with around 50GB free space:

cd $HOME
mkdir peppercarrot
cd peppercarrot

2. Clone the repository in a folder named 'scripts' and launch the install.sh script:

git clone https://github.com/Deevad/peppercarrot.git scripts
cd scripts
./install.sh

3. At the first run, the script should create a new configuration file config.sh along install.sh and stop inviting you to edit it. Here I edit it with the CLI editor 'nano' :

nano config.sh

Change export projectroot="/home/username/peppercarrot" to the root of your instalation folder ( where you created the 'peppercarrot' folder). Save the configuration file, and launch again the script again. Voilà, time for getting a coffee in front of long instalation process.

Note: You can also optionaly setup FTP login and password in this configuration file, if you want to sync with LFTP the local rendered pages to a distant server.

After install, here is how look like a basic file tree of a Pepper&Carrot project correctly installed :

peppercarrot/
├── fonts (git)
├── scripts (git)
├── webcomics
│   └── ep01_Potion-of-Flight
│   │   ├── lang (git)
│   │   └── zip
│   └── ep02_Rainbow-potions
│   │   ├── lang (git)
│   │   └── zip
│   └── ep03_The-secret-ingredients
│       ├── lang (git)
│       └── zip
├── wiki (git)
└── www-lang (git)

Note: On this example, only three episodes subfolder are visible to keep the example tree compact.

Usage

A launcher was copied into your system in $HOME/.local/share/applications/peppercarrot-menu.desktop .

All operating system's menu should catch this type of launcher. So, open your menu to access Peppercarrot main menu ( under the programming/development category ). An interface will pop-up and guide you to select an action ( eg. Select an episode, then render it ).

Update

Run again scripts/install.sh, or from the launcher GUI select the option 'update everything'.
