Installing¶
If khal is packaged for your OS/distribution, using your system’s standard package manager is probably the easiest way to install khal:
Fedora: - Fedora 22 and later:
sudo dnf install -y khal
Personal repos for openSUSE:
openSUSE 13.1:
sudo zypper ar -f http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/seilerphilipp/openSUSE_13.1/home_seilerphilipp
openSUSE 13.2:
sudo zypper ar -f http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/seilerphilipp/openSUSE_13.2/home_seilerphilipp
AUR packages for ArchLinux: stable and development version.
If a package isn’t available (or it is outdated) you need to fall back to one of the methods mentioned below.
Install via Python’s Package Managers¶
Since khal is written in python, you can use one of the package managers available to install python packages, e.g. pip.
You can install the latest released version of khal by executing:
pip install khal
or the latest development version by executing:
pip install git+git://github.com/geier/khal.git
This should also take care of installing all required dependencies.
Requirements¶
khal is written in python and can run on Python 2.7 and 3.3+. It requires a
Python with sqlite3
support enabled (which is usually the case).
If you are installing python via pip or from source, be aware that since khal indirectly depends on lxml you need to either install it via your system’s package manager or have python’s and libxml2’s headers (development packages) installed.
