% 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.
2. 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
3. Make sure the `$CABALDIR/bin` directory is in your path. You should
now be able to run `pandoc`:
pandoc --help
4. Make sure the `$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].
1. Install dependencies: in addition to the [Haskell platform],
you will need [zip-archive], [blaze-html], and [highlighting-kate].
2. Configure:
runghc Setup.hs 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:
- `executable`: build the pandoc executable (default yes)
- `library`: build the pandoc library (default yes)
So, for example,
--flags="-executable"
tells Cabal to build the library but not the executables,
and to compile with syntax highlighting support.
3. Build:
runghc Setup.hs build
4. Build API documentation:
runghc Setup.hs haddock --html-location=URL --hyperlink-source
5. Copy the files:
runghc Setup.hs copy --destdir=PATH
The default destdir is `/`.
6. Register pandoc as a GHC package:
runghc Setup.hs 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 Windows binary
-------------------------------------
On Windows it is possible to compile pandoc such that it
(and its data files) are "relocatable." You can put the relocatable
binary in any directory (even on a USB drive), and it will look for its
data files there.
cabal install --flags="embed_data_files" citeproc-hs
cabal install --flags="executable -library" --datasubdir=
You can find `pandoc.exe` in `dist/build/pandoc`. Copy this wherever
you please, and copy the following data files to the same place:
README
COPYRIGHT
COPYING
reference.odt
reference.docx
epub.css
default.csl
templates/
data/
s5/
slidy/
slideous/
dzslides/
pcre-license.txt
pcre3.dll
This is essentially what the binary installer does.

Running tests
-------------
Pandoc comes with an automated test suite integrated to cabal.
To build the tests:
cabal configure --enable-tests && cabal build
Note: If you obtained the source via git, you should first do
git submodule update --init templates
to populate the templates subdirectory. (You can skip this step
if you obtained the source from a release tarball.)
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'
