% Installing pandoc
These instructions explain how to install pandoc from source.
Binary packages or ports of pandoc are available for freebsd
and several linux distributions, so check your package manager.
There is also a Windows installer.
Quick install
-------------
1. Install the [Haskell platform]. This will give you [GHC] and
the [cabal-install] build tool, as well as `alex` and `happy`.
If you do not use the Haskell platform, you'll need to install
`alex` and `happy` separately:
cabal install alex happy
2. Update your package database:
cabal update
3. 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
Note: If you obtained the source from the git repository (rather
than a release tarball), you'll need to do
git submodule update --init
to fetch the contents of `data/templates` before `cabal install`.
4. 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. Make sure the `$CABALDIR/share/man/man1` directory is in your `MANPATH`.
You should now be able to access the `pandoc` man page:
man pandoc
[GHC]: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/
[Haskell platform]: http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/
[cabal-install]: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/wiki/CabalInstall
Custom install
--------------
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.
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
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.
Note: if this option is selected, you need to install the
`hsb2hs` preprocessor:
cabal install hsb2hs
- `http-conduit`: use the `http-conduit` library to fetch external
resources (default yes -- without this, pandoc cannot make SSL
connections)
3. Build:
cabal build
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.
cabal install hsb2hs # a required build tool
cabal install --flags="embed_data_files" citeproc-hs
cabal configure --flags="embed_data_files"
cabal build
You can find the pandoc executable in `dist/build/pandoc`. Copy this wherever
you please.

Running tests
-------------
Pandoc comes with an automated test suite integrated to cabal.
To build the tests:
cabal configure --enable-tests && cabal build
To run the tests:
cabal test
To run particular tests (pattern-matching on their names), use
the `-t` option:
cabal test --test-options='-t markdown'
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
`tests/test-pandoc.hs`. If you are adding a new reader or writer, it is
probably easiest to add some data files to the `tests` directory, and
modify `tests/Tests/Old.hs`. Otherwise, it is better to modify the module
under the `tests/Tests` hierarchy corresponding to the pandoc module you
are changing.
Running benchmarks
------------------
To build the benchmarks:
cabal configure --enable-benchmarks && cabal build
To run the benchmarks:
cabal 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'
