How to Install Jotgit on MXLinux Latest

Jotgit is an open-source tool that allows you to convert your markdown notes to HTML pages. In this tutorial, we'll guide you through the process of installing Jotgit on MXLinux Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have the following:

Step 1 - Install Git

Jotgit is hosted on GitHub, so you'll need to have Git installed to access it. To do so, open a terminal and run the following command:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git

This will install Git on your system, allowing you to clone Jotgit's repository.

Step 2 - Clone Jotgit's Repository

Once Git is installed, you can clone Jotgit's repository to your computer by running the following command:

git clone https://github.com/jdleesmiller/jotgit

This will create a directory named "jotgit" in your current working directory, containing all of Jotgit's source code.

Step 3 - Install Dependencies

Jotgit relies on several dependencies to work properly. To install them, navigate to the "jotgit" directory and run the following command:

sudo apt-get install python-pip
sudo pip install -r requirements.txt

The first command installs Python's PIP package manager, which we'll use to install Jotgit's dependencies. The second command installs all of Jotgit's dependencies listed in the "requirements.txt" file.

Step 4 - Install Jotgit

Finally, you can install Jotgit by running the following command in the "jotgit" directory:

sudo python setup.py install

This will install Jotgit on your system, allowing you to use it from anywhere in your terminal.

Step 5 - Verify Installation

To verify that Jotgit is installed correctly, run the following command:

jotgit --version

This should print out Jotgit's version number. If you see an error message, double-check that you've followed all of the previous steps correctly.
