Python Effects
on Debian GNU / Linux
apt-get install python python-lxml
on Microsoft Windows
From version .44 onwards, Inkscape now includes Python in the download, and has effects enabled by default. The latest stable Inkscape version includes Python 2.6.5.
on Mac OS X
Starting with version 0.46, Inkscape contains the python packages needed for the extension system. All python extensions should work out of the box. However in case you still have trouble you can install them in their regular location.
Binary packages
- Download and open http://inkscape.modevia.com/macosx-snap/Python-packages.dmg
- Browse the disk image to find the packages corresponding to your architecture and Python version
- Your architecture is ppc if you have a G4-G5 based Mac, i386 if you have an Intel Mac
- By default Panther and Tiger have Python 2.3 and Leopard has Python 2.5. If you have installed a newer version of Python we also provide packages for 2.4
- Copy all the files and folder from the appropriate location to your Python site-packages directory. By default the site-packages directory is /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/python2.3/site-packages on Panther and Tiger, /Library/Python/2.5/site-packages on Leopard. Otherwise it is somewhere in your custom install of python (/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ for an install of Python 2.4 via MacPorts for example)
Compiling from source
If you prefer, you can install them from source, it is really easy.
- download the source code for sourceforge numpy repository and/or lxml download section
- unpack the
.tar.gzfiletar -xzf numpy***.tar.gz lxml***.tar.gz
- for each one
cdinto the newly created directory - build C extensions and install (the install is system wide so you need administrator privileges)
sudo python setup.py install
and type your password.
The packages are installed in the site-packages directory of your Python install. This is /Library/Python/2.*/site-packages for the stock install of Python on Mac OS X.
Perl Effects
on Debian GNU / Linux
apt-get install perl libxml-xql-perl
on Gentoo GNU / Linux
emerge -a XML-XQL
on Microsoft Windows
install ActivePerl install XML::XQL::DOM (perhaps like this?) 1: install prereqs with ppm: install xml-dom install parse-yapp install datemanip 2: download xml-xql from: http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/T/TJ/TJMATHER/XML-XQL-0.68.tar.gz 3: open command prompt and locate perl"s lib directory with: perl -e "print qq(@INC)" (mine was C:/Perl/site/lib) 4: unpack xml-xql archive 5: copy contents of XML-XQL-*\lib\XML into C:\Perl\site\lib\XML 6: copy XML-XQL-*\XQLParser\Parser.pm to C:\Perl\site\lib\XML\XQL
Plugin Effects
I have absolutely no idea. Please record your success here. :)
What if it doesn't work?
Run Inkscape from the console
Use the error messges printed to the console to diagnose the problem (very often missing dependencies)
On Windows you will have to redirect output to a text file like this: "inkscape > output.txt"
