Building from Source

Arch Linux

Using the AUR packages and appimage did not work for me with version 5.3.0. So I am compiling from source.

# Install pyenv and Python 3.13.3 (Arch's Python is too new)
sudo pacman -S pyenv
echo 'eval "$(pyenv init -)"' >> ~/.bashrc && source ~/.bashrc
pyenv install 3.13.3

# Clone and setup
git clone git@github.com:opensteno/plover.git
cd plover
pyenv local 3.13.3
~/.pyenv/versions/3.13.3/bin/python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel
pip install -c reqs/constraints.txt -r reqs/dev.txt

# Setup udev rule for /dev/uinput
echo 'KERNEL=="uinput", MODE="0660", GROUP="plover", TAG+="uaccess"' | sudo tee /etc/udev/rules.d/99-plover-uinput.rules
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules && sudo udevadm trigger

# Run
tox -e launch
