Komodo IDE requires a 21-day Trial or Permanent license to run. For a
21-day Trial, follow the license installation prompts when running
Komodo for the first time. To install a Permanent license:
- Download the license installer from the My
Downloads page.
- Double-click the downloaded installer.
Newer versions of Komodo should not be installed in the same
directory as older versions. For major version upgrades (e.g. 3.5.3 to
4.0) the installer will automatically put Komodo in a new directory.
However for "point" release upgrades (e.g. 3.5 to 3.5.3), you should
completely uninstall the older
version before installing the new one.
Before you start:
- If you intend to run the installation from a shared network drive,
your system must have
SYSTEM rights (or greater) to the
directory from which the installation is run. Alternatively, run the
installation from a local drive.
To install Komodo on Windows:
- Ensure you have the prerequisite hardware and software.
- Download the Komodo installer file.
- Double-click the installer file and follow the instructions.
When installation is complete, you will see an ActiveState Komodo icon on your
desktop.
To install Komodo 4.0.2, you must first
uninstall any other
Komodo 4.0 installation. You may, however, install
Komodo 4.0.2 side-by-side with other Komodo X.Y version
(for example Komodo 3.1) as long as you install to a separate and unique
directory. Komodo 4.0 will import settings
from previous Komodo versions.
To start Komodo on Windows, use one of the following methods:
- Double-click the desktop icon.
- Select Start|Programs|ActiveState Komodo|Komodo.
- Add the Komodo install directory to your
PATH environment
variable, then from the command line prompt, enter komodo .
To uninstall Komodo, select Start|Programs|ActiveState Komodo|Modify,
Repair or Uninstall Komodo.
Alternatively, use the Add/Remove Programs menu (accessible

To add Perl or Python to the PATH environment variable, do
one of the following:
- Modify your
PATH environment variable. For example, if you
use the Bash shell, add the following line to your ~/.bashrc file:
export PATH=<installdir>/bin:$PATH
...where <installdir> points to the directory where you
installed ActivePerl or ActivePython.
- Create a symbolic link to the Perl or Python executable. For example, for
ActivePerl, enter:
ln -s <installdir>/bin/perl /usr/local/bin/perl
For ActivePython, enter:
ln -s <installdir>/bin/python /usr/local/bin/python
...where <installdir> points to the directory where
you installed ActivePerl or ActivePython.
Komodo IDE requires a 21-day Trial or Permanent license to run. For a
21-day Trial, follow the license installation prompts when running
Komodo for the first time. To install a Permanent license:
- Download the license installer from the My
Downloads page.
- Change the permissions on the downloaded file to allow execution
(e.g. `
chmod +x
Komodo_<version>_<license#>.bin `)
- Run the installer (e.g.
`
./Komodo_<version>_<license#>.bin `).
Newer versions of Komodo should not be installed in the same
directory as older versions. For major version upgrades (e.g. 3.5.3 to
4.0) the installer will automatically put Komodo in a new directory.
However for "point" release upgrades (e.g. 3.5 to 3.5.3), you should
completely uninstall the older
version before installing the new one.
This version of Komodo allows non-root installation on Linux. Note, however,
that the user who executes the license file will be the user who is licensed to use
the software.
To install Komodo on Linux:
- Download the Komodo installer (.tar.gz file) into a
convenient directory.
- Unpack the tarball:
tar -xvzf Komodo-<version>-<build>-linux-ix86.tar.gz
- Change to the new directory:
cd Komodo-<version>-<build>-linux-ix86
- Run the install script ("install.sh"):
./install.sh
- Answer the installer prompts:
- Specify where you want Komodo installed, or press 'Enter' to accept the default
location (
/home/<username>/Komodo-x.x ).
If multiple users are sharing the system and will be using the same
installation, install Komodo in a location every user can access (e.g.
/opt/Komodo-x.x/ or /usr/local/Komodo-x.x/ ).
Note: Each Komodo user requires their own license key.
Do not install Komodo in a path that contains spaces or non-alphanumeric
characters.
Be sure to install Komodo into its own directory (i.e. not
directly in an existing directory containing shared files and
directories such as /usr/local ).
- Verify that you have enough disk space.
- Once the installer has finished, add Komodo to your PATH with one
of the following:
After completing the installation, you can delete the temporary
directory where the Komodo tarball was unpacked.
To start Komodo on Linux enter `komodo ` at the command
line or create a shortcut on your desktop or in your toolbar using the
full path to the komodo executable.
To uninstall Komodo on Linux:
- Delete the directory that Komodo created during installation.
- If you wish to delete your Komodo preferences, delete the
~/.komodo directory. If you do not delete this directory,
subsequent installations of Komodo will use the same preferences.
Note: You cannot relocate an existing Komodo
installation to a new directory by simply moving it. You must uninstall
Komodo from the existing location and reinstall it in the new
location.
- Debugging: If firewall software is installed on the system,
it must be configured to allow Komodo to access the network during remote
debugging.
- Perl: Perl 5.6 or greater
is required to debug Perl programs. Download the latest version of
ActivePerl
from the ActiveState website. Ensure that the directory location of the Perl
interpreter (by default,

PATH environment variable. Some advanced features, such as
background syntax checking and remote debugging, require ActivePerl.
- Python: Python 1.5.2 or greater is
required to debug Python programs. You can download the latest version of
ActivePython
from the ActiveState website. Ensure that the directory location of the Python
interpreter (by default
C:\Pythonxx (where "xx" is the Python
version)) is included in your system's PATH environment variable.
Some advanced features, such as background syntax checking and remote
debugging, require ActivePython. Python 1.5.2 or greater and
a fully configured Tkinter installation are required to create Python dialogs
with the GUI Builder.
- PHP: PHP 4.0.5 or greater is required for
PHP syntax checking. PHP 4.3.10 or greater is required to debug
PHP programs. Debugging and syntax checking are also available for
PHP 5.0.3 or greater. Download PHP from http://www.php.net/downloads.php.
Ensure that the directory location of the PHP interpreter (by default
C:\PHP ) is included in your system's PATH environment
variable. For complete instructions for configuring Komodo and PHP, see Configuring the PHP Debugger.
