Windows 下安裝ReText

打算使用MarkDown了，羣友推薦使用ReText，基於Python的，同時依賴了Python的幾個包，經過easystall能夠方便地安裝，同時製做了快捷啓動方式，網上找了篇文章以備忘。

Installation

1. Download and install the latest version of Python (3.3.0: x86 or amd64).
2. Download and install PyQt for your Python version from riverbankcomputing.co.uk.

3. Time to update your computer's Environmental Variables:

   • Click Start, right-click My Computer and select Properties.
   • Click Environment Variables.

   • For System Variables, click New. Then add:

     PYTHONPATH=C:\Python33\Lib\;C:\Python33\Lib\site-packages\
     

   • Select the System Variable PATH, click Edit.

   • Update the PATH by adding C:\Python33;C:\Python33\Lib\site-packages\PyQt4\bin; to the front of it, like so: PATH=C:\Python33;C:\Python33\Lib\site-packages\PyQt4\bin;etc.

4. Download and run distribute_setup.py which will install distribute package, which provides easy_installtool.

5. Time to install additional Python libraries.

   • Select Start -> Run cmd then cd \Python33\Tools\Scripts.

   • Enter:

     easy_install Pygments
     easy_install ElementTree
     easy_install Markdown
     easy_install docutils
     easy_install Markups
     

6. Download and unpack ReText

7. Download and unpack ReText icons pack
8. Place the unpacked icons into the ReText\icons folder
9. Run cmd then cd to the ReText folder. Then enter: python3 retext.py

Creating a Launch Shortcut

If you wish to ReText to have a Shortcut to start it. Then you can pin it to your Start menu, copy to your Desktop or Quick Launch, etc.

For local installs

1. Right-click drag-n-drop the retext.py and select "Create shortcuts here"
2. Adjust the properties of the shortcut
3. Change the Shortcut tab: Target: C:\python33\pythonw.exe retext.py's path ; Run = minimized ; Change Icon (to whatever you like).
4. Change the General tab: rename it to "ReText"

If you wish for the python shell box to not appear, you should follow the USB Stick Batch file instructions at the moment.

For USB Sticks

1. Copy C:\python33 to USB Stick, say U:\python33
2. Put ReText on the stick

3. Create the following BAT file: retext.bat

   REM ReText Startup batch file
   REM -------------------------
   REM determine drive letter of batchfile
   for /f "delims=\" %%d in ('cd') do set curdrv=%%d
   echo %curdrv%
   REM Set ENVs using current drive letter if ENVs not set for USB Sticks
   REM REM them out if you have the ENVs set
   set PYTHONPATH=%curdrv%\Python33\Lib;%curdrv%\Python33\Lib\site-packages
   set PATH=%curdrv%\Python33;%curdrv%\Python33\Lib\site-packages\PyQt4\bin;%PATH%
   REM Start ReText
   start /B %curdrv%\Python33\pythonw.exe %CD%\retext.py
   

4. Right-click drag-n-drop the retext.bat and select "Create shortcuts here"

5. Adjust the properties of the shortcut
6. Change the Shortcut tab: Run = minimized ; Change Icon (to whatever you like)
7. Change the General tab: rename it to "ReText"

Notables

• Install performed without a proxy. easy_install requires an internet connection. You're on your own dealing with a proxy. As there's really no Registry Entries, you could install else where and copy to USB Stick and create the batch file.
• Tested on Windows XP 32-bit. Untested with ActiveState Python, so adjust your steps accordingly.
