Installation instructions
The speedata Publisher can be downloaded in two versions: stable and development . Both versions are easy to use. Extensive quality assurance prevents errors from creeping in undetected. In the development version, the documentation may be behind the current status. To try it out, you can usually download the development version.

There are three ways to install speedata Publisher:
-
Binary packages (The recommended way): Go to our download page and download the latest package for your operating system. You can unzip the file anywhere in the filesystem you want. You don’t need root/administrator rights to use the Publisher this way. There are extra installer packages for windows, if you don’t want to set the
PATH
variable yourself. On macOS 10.15 (Catalina) the securitiy feature »Gatekeeper« asks for special permissions to run the speedata Publisher. This happens when you download the software from a browser. You can use curl to circumvent this (on the command line):
This loads the ZIP file into the current directory.curl -O https://download.speedata.de/dl/speedata-publisher-darwin-amd64-latest.zip
-
APT repository: If you have root or sudo rights on Debian or Ubuntu GNU/Linux (or a similar system), you can install the .deb files we have prepared from our APT repository. (For now, only the 64 bit architecture is supported.) This is very easy, just follow a few steps:
Add the following file to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/speedata.list for the development version (unstable):
or for the main (stable) releases:deb https://software.speedata.de/download/devel stable main
Add our GPG key to the system to make sure you get the correct software:deb https://software.speedata.de/download/public stable main
Now you can run sudo apt update and apt get install speedata-publisher and have a working installation. You can find the documentation in /usr/share/doc/speedata-publisher/index.html which should open with sp doc on a desktop system.curl -O http://de.speedata.s3.amazonaws.com/gpgkey-speedata.txt sudo apt-key add gpgkey-speedata.txt

Build from source: For developers interested in contributing to speedata Publisher, the program and documentation can be built directly from source. You can choose between a prebuilt docker image on dockerhub or build the software from the git repository using rake. You need to have the Go language version 1.11 or later installed. For example, on Debian or Ubuntu GNU/Linux, where Go is packaged as 'golang', you can use the commands:
If you are building speedata Publisher from source, you will also need to install LuaTeX manually. The recommended way is to download a binary from https://download.speedata.de/#extra and copy it into the bin/ directory of the Publisher. For example, to download and install LuajitTeX 1.10 on a Linux amd64 system, you could use the commands:sudo apt install build-essential git rake golang git clone https://github.com/speedata/publisher.git cd publisher rake build rake doc
After installation, you can runwget https://download.speedata.de/files/extra/luatex_110-win-mac-linux.zip unzip luatex_110-win-mac-linux.zip cp luatex/linux/amd64/1_10/sdluatex bin
bin/sdluatex --version
to confirm the program version.
TODO document:
- docker hub
- manual (asciidoctor)
- bin/sdluatex or somewhere else?
