Installation
==================
As of this writing, you have a choice of two DZGUI versions:
.. note::
Version 6 of DZGUI 6 has been fully replaced with DZGUI 7.
Users on existing DZGUI 6 installations should migrate to the DZGUI 7 build.
- DZGUI 6: Legacy stable version, more complicated to install
- DZGUI 7: Unstable beta version, much easier to install
In order to make the first-time setup experience easier for end-users, DZGUI 7 no longer requires
the tool to be installed from source code into a working Python environment. All necessary dependencies and the
runtime environment are built-in.
DZGUI 6
--------------------
This version is no longer receiving feature updates, but will receive security updates until it is replaced by DZGUI 7.
Turnkey installer
------------------------
DZGUI 6 must be installed from the source code and has many more package dependencies and prerequisites for it to function correctly.
If you are looking for a one-click, self-contained installer, use :ref:`DZGUI 7` instead.
- Visit the project's `Releases page <https://github.com/aclist/dzgui/releases/latest>`_.
- Download the DZGUI archive from the top of the **Assets** list. This file will be labeled ``dzgui-<VERSION>-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz``.
- Extract the archive's contents.
- From a terminal, run the command ``./dzgui`` or double click on the extracted file in a file explorer.
- Once the setup wizard opens, follow the steps at the bottom of this page.
To install **DZGUI 6**, visit :doc:`dzgui6`.
UI dependencies (Python and PyGObject)
---------------------------------------
On most major distributions, GObject introspection libraries should be available by default.
If you receive an error about a missing ``libgirepository-2.0`` dependency, install it via your system's package manager.
DZGUI 7
--------------------
This version is currently in beta testing and has all of the features found in DZGUI 6, but may be unstable.
On Debian-based distributions (Ubuntu, etc.), this package is not explicitly installed on the system.
You can install it via the following set of commands:
DZGUI 7 has an all-in-one installer and setup wizard, and many new features not found in DZGUI 6.
However, this codebase is newer and is provided as a pre-release beta candidate.
.. code:: console
If you want the simplest installer and don't mind experiencing the occasional bug, use this version.
sudo apt update
sudo apt install libgirepository-2.0-0
To install **DZGUI 7**, visit :doc:`dzgui7`.
