apt-get install git-cola python-inotify

New releases are available on the git-cola download page.

• git 1.6.3 or newer

• Python 2.6 or newer

• PyQt4 4.4 or newer

pyinotify >= 0.7.1 enables inotify support on Linux.

Normally you can just do "make install" to install git-cola in your $HOME directory ($HOME/bin, $HOME/share, etc). If you want to do a global install you can do

make prefix=/usr install

You don't need to install cola to run it, though. git-cola is designed to run directly out of its source tree.

make
bin/git-cola
bin/git-dag

Whether you install cola yourself with make install or use the git-cola.app bundle, you will need to install Qt4 and PyQt4.

The easiest way to do this is to install homebrew and use it to install git-cola.

brew install git-cola

Once brew has installed git-cola (and its dependencies) you use git-cola.app or install from source using make install. Installing these packages also gives you a PyQt development environment which can be used for building your own applications or hacking on cola itself.

• msysGit

• Python

• PyQt

• git-cola Installer

Once these are installed you can run git-cola from the Start menu or from a Git Bash by typing cola.

If you are developing git-cola on Windows you can run the code by using the win32/cola shell script.

/c/Python26/python setup.py build
win32/cola

The win32/cola script assumes that you have python installed in either /c/Python26 or /c/Python25. Adjust accordingly.
