For some -examples, see <https://github.com/pandoc/pandoc-action-example>. - -## Compiling from source - -If for some reason a binary package is not available for your -platform, or if you want to hack on pandoc or use a non-released -version, you can install from source. - -### Getting the pandoc source code - -Source tarballs can be found at -<https://hackage.haskell.org/package/pandoc>. For example, to -fetch the source for version 1.17.0.3: - - wget https://hackage.haskell.org/package/pandoc-1.17.0.3/pandoc-1.17.0.3.tar.gz - tar xvzf pandoc-1.17.0.3.tar.gz - cd pandoc-1.17.0.3 - -Or you can fetch the development code by cloning the repository: - - git clone https://github.com/jgm/pandoc - cd pandoc - -Note: there may be times when the development code is broken -or depends on other libraries which must be installed -separately. Unless you really know what you're doing, install -the last released version. - -### Quick stack method - -The easiest way to build pandoc from source is to use [stack][stack]: - -1. Install [stack][stack]. Note that Pandoc requires stack >= 1.7.0. - -2. Change to the pandoc source directory and issue the following commands: - - stack setup - stack install - - `stack setup` will automatically download the ghc compiler - if you don't have it. `stack install` will install the - `pandoc` executable into `~/.local/bin`, which you should - add to your `PATH`. This process will take a while, and - will consume a considerable amount of disk space. - -### Quick cabal method - -1. Install the [Haskell platform]. This will give you [GHC] and - the [cabal-install] build tool. Note that pandoc requires - GHC >= 7.10 and cabal >= 2.0. - -2. Update your package database: - - cabal update - -3. Check your cabal version with - - cabal --version - - If you have a version less than 2.0, install the latest with: - - cabal install cabal-install - -4. Use `cabal` to install pandoc and its dependencies: - - cabal install pandoc - - This procedure will install the released version of pandoc, - which will be downloaded automatically from HackageDB. - - If you want to install a modified or development version - of pandoc instead, switch to the source directory and do - as above, but without the 'pandoc': - - cabal install - -5. Make sure the `$CABALDIR/bin` directory is in your path. You should - now be able to run `pandoc`: - - pandoc --help - - [Not sure where `$CABALDIR` is?](http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Cabal-Install#The_cabal-install_configuration_file) - -5. By default `pandoc` uses the "i;unicode-casemap" method - to sort bibliography entries (RFC 5051). If you would like to - use the locale-sensitive unicode collation algorithm instead, - specify the `icu` flag (which affects the dependency `citeproc`): - - cabal install pandoc -ficu - - Note that this requires the `text-icu` library, which in turn - depends on the C library `icu4c`. Installation directions - vary by platform. Here is how it might work on macOS with Homebrew: - - brew install icu4c - stack install pandoc \ - --flag "citeproc:icu" \ - --extra-lib-dirs=/usr/local/opt/icu4c/lib \ - --extra-include-dirs=/usr/local/opt/icu4c/include - -6. The `pandoc.1` man page will be installed automatically. cabal shows - you where it is installed: you may need to set your `MANPATH` - accordingly. If `MANUAL.txt` has been modified, the man page can be - rebuilt: `make man/pandoc.1`. - - -### Custom cabal method - -This is a step-by-step procedure that offers maximal control -over the build and installation. Most users should use the -quick install, but this information may be of use to packagers. -For more details, see the [Cabal User's Guide]. These instructions -assume that the pandoc source directory is your working directory. -You will need cabal version 2.0 or higher. - -1. Install dependencies: in addition to the [Haskell platform], - you will need a number of additional libraries. You can install - them all with - - cabal update - cabal install --only-dependencies - -2. Configure: - - cabal configure --prefix=DIR --bindir=DIR --libdir=DIR \ - --datadir=DIR --libsubdir=DIR --datasubdir=DIR --docdir=DIR \ - --htmldir=DIR --program-prefix=PREFIX --program-suffix=SUFFIX \ - --mandir=DIR --flags=FLAGSPEC --enable-tests - - All of the options have sensible defaults that can be overridden - as needed. - - `FLAGSPEC` is a list of Cabal configuration flags, optionally - preceded by a `-` (to force the flag to `false`), and separated - by spaces. Pandoc's flags include: - - - `embed_data_files`: embed all data files into the binary (default no). - This is helpful if you want to create a relocatable binary. - - - `https`: enable support for downloading resources over https - (using the `http-client` and `http-client-tls` libraries). - -3. Build: - - cabal build - cabal test - -4. Build API documentation: - - cabal haddock --html-location=URL --hyperlink-source - -5. Copy the files: - - cabal copy --destdir=PATH - - The default destdir is `/`. - -6. Register pandoc as a GHC package: - - cabal register - - Package managers may want to use the `--gen-script` option to - generate a script that can be run to register the package at - install time. - -### Creating a relocatable binary - -It is possible to compile pandoc such that the data files -pandoc uses are embedded in the binary. The resulting binary -can be run from any directory and is completely self-contained. -With cabal, add `-fembed_data_files` to the `cabal configure` -or `cabal install` commands. - -With stack, use `--flag pandoc:embed_data_files`. - - - -### Running tests - -Pandoc comes with an automated test suite. -To run with cabal, `cabal test`; to run with stack, `stack -test`. - -To run particular tests (pattern-matching on their names), use -the `-p` option: - - cabal install pandoc --enable-tests - cabal test --test-options='-p markdown' - -Or with stack: - - stack test --test-arguments='-p markdown' - -It is often helpful to add `-j4` (run tests in parallel) -and `--hide-successes` (don't clutter output with successes) -to the test arguments as well. - -If you add a new feature to pandoc, please add tests as well, following -the pattern of the existing tests. The test suite code is in -`test/test-pandoc.hs`. If you are adding a new reader or writer, it is -probably easiest to add some data files to the `test` directory, and -modify `test/Tests/Old.hs`. Otherwise, it is better to modify the module -under the `test/Tests` hierarchy corresponding to the pandoc module you -are changing. - -### Running benchmarks - -To build and run the benchmarks: - - cabal configure --enable-benchmarks && cabal build - cabal bench - -or with stack: - - stack bench - -To use a smaller sample size so the benchmarks run faster: - - cabal bench --benchmark-options='-s 20' - -To run just the markdown benchmarks: - - cabal bench --benchmark-options='markdown' - - -[Arch]: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/pandoc/ -[Cabal User's Guide]: http://www.haskell.org/cabal/release/latest/doc/users-guide/builders.html#setup-configure-paths -[Debian]: https://packages.debian.org/pandoc -[Fedora]: https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/pandoc -[FreeBSD ports]: http://www.freshports.org/textproc/hs-pandoc/ -[GHC]: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ -[GPL]: http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html -[Haskell platform]: http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/ -[MacPorts]: http://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/textproc/pandoc/Portfile -[MacTeX]: https://tug.org/mactex/ -[BasicTeX]: http://www.tug.org/mactex/morepackages.html -[LaTeX]: https://www.latex-project.org -[MiKTeX]: http://miktex.org/ -[librsvg]: https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/LibRsvg -[Python]: https://www.python.org -[NetBSD]: http://pkgsrc.se/wip/pandoc -[NixOS]: https://nixos.org/nixos/packages.html -[Slackware]: https://www.slackbuilds.org/result/?search=pandoc&sv= -[Ubuntu]: https://packages.ubuntu.com/pandoc -[download page]: https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/releases/latest -[gentoo]: http://packages.gentoo.org/package/app-text/pandoc -[haskell repository]: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Haskell_Package_Guidelines#.5Bhaskell.5D -[openSUSE]: https://software.opensuse.org/package/pandoc -[source tarball]: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/pandoc -[stack]: https://docs.haskellstack.org/en/stable/install_and_upgrade.html -[cabal-install]: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/cabal-install -[Void]: https://voidlinux.org/ -[uninstaller]: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jgm/pandoc/master/macos/uninstall-pandoc.pl |
