Installing Komodo 2.5
Hardware Requirements
- Intel x86 processor, 200 MHz (or faster) with 128 MB RAM.
- Up to 230 MB in your TMP directory (as indicated by the value of your
'TMP' environment variable) during installation, even if you plan to install
Komodo to another drive. If you do not have the required space on this
drive, manually set the 'TMP' environment variable to a directory on a drive with
sufficient space.
Operating System Requirements
- Windows XP, 2000, NT (service pack 5 recommended), Me or 98 (remote debugging
is not available on Windows 98)
Software Prerequisites on Windows
- Windows 98, Me and NT users: Microsoft Windows Installer
(MSI) version 2.0 or greater
(
MSI 2.0 for 9x and Me,
MSI 2.0 for NT)
- Windows 98/NT4 Users: Windows Scripting Host: Microsoft's
Windows Scripting Host is required by the Microsoft Windows Installer.
Older versions of Windows did not include the Windows Scripting Host. To
check if your system has the Windows Scripting Host, select
Run from the Windows Start menu, and enter
wscript .
If the Windows Script Host Setting dialog appears, WSH is installed on your
system. If it doesn't, download the WSH from
http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/vbscript/scripting51.asp.
- 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
ActivePerl
Build 623 or later. Ensure that the directory location of the Perl
interpreter (by default,
C:\perl ) is included in your system's
PATH environment variable. Some advanced features, such as
background syntax checking and remote debugging, require ActivePerl.
- The Visual Package Manager: requires
ActivePerl
Build 633 or later.
- Python: Python 1.5.2 or greater is
required to debug Python programs. Download
ActivePython
build 202 or greater. 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.

Uninstalling
It is not necessary to uninstall previous versions of Komodo before installing
Komodo 2.5 (unless you are currently using a beta version of Komodo 2.5).
The Komodo 2.5 installation will import settings from previous
Komodo versions (with the exceptions described below).
If you want to replace an existing Komodo installation with the latest version,
uninstall
the existing version of Komodo before installing the latest version.
If you want to run two versions of Komodo, you may do so, but ensure they
are installed in directories with unique names.
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.
Top
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 .
Top
To uninstall Komodo, select Start|Programs|ActiveState Komodo|Modify,
Repair or Uninstall Komodo.
Alternatively, use the Add/Remove Programs menu (accessible
from the Windows Control Panel).

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

The Komodo 2.5 installation will import settings from previous
Komodo versions (with the exceptions described below).
If you want to replace an existing Komodo installation with the latest
version, uninstall
the existing version of Komodo before installing the latest version.
If you want to run two versions of Komodo, you may do so, but ensure they
are installed in directories with unique names.
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:
- Ensure you have the prerequisite hardware and software.
- Create a temporary directory into which you will download the Komodo
installer file. You will delete this directory after the installation procedure
is complete.
- Download the Komodo installer file (with the extension
tar.gz )
into the temporary directory.
- Crack the tarball. When you enter the command below, it will unpack the file
into a directory with the same name as the Komodo tar.gz file. From the
command line, enter:
tar -xvzf Komodo-<version>-<build>-linux-ix86.tar.gz
...where <version> is the version of Komodo and
<build> is the Komodo build number.
- Change to the new directory. From the command line, enter:
cd Komodo-<version>-<build>-linux-ix86
- Run the install script ("install.sh"). From the command line,
enter:
./install.sh
- Answer the installer prompts:
- Specify where you want Komodo installed or press Enter to accept the default
location. Do not install Komodo in a path that contains spaces or
non-alphanumeric characters.
- Verify you have enough disk space.
Note - The installer will not install Komodo into a
directory where Komodo is already installed. Be sure to install Komodo
into a directory with a unique name.
- Add the Komodo directory to your path. To do this, either:
When installation is complete, you can delete the temporary directory
where the Komodo tarball was cracked.
The Komodo license will be sent to the email address you provided during
registration. You must install this license. Otherwise, you will get an error
if you select the "License" link from within Komodo.
- To make the license executable, enter:
chmod +x <filename>
- To run the license, enter:
./<filename>
Top
To start Komodo on Linux:
- If necessary, open the graphical shell by entering
startx .
- Open the GUI terminal emulator, and enter
komodo .
Top
Use the procedure only if you want to fully remove Komodo from your system.
Note that you cannot relocate an existing Komodo installation to a new
directory. You must uninstall Komodo from the existing location and reinstall
it in the new location.
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.
