<h2><a>General information</a></h2>
<p>The current version is 1.18.2. <a href="release-1.18.html">
Release notes</a>.</p>
<p>The download page for Recoll 1.17 is
<a href="download-1.17.html">still available</a>.</p>
<p>Recoll <a href="usermanual/rcl.install.html">
Installation / building manual</a>.</p>
<p>The indexing filters used for some document types may need
external packages not installed on your system by default, and
not installed automatically with Recoll: <a
href="features.html#doctypes"> take a look at the list</a> and
decide what you need to
install. Also <a href="filters/filters.html">new or updated
filters</a> sometimes become available after a release. As a
rule, all filters are compatible with all Recoll
versions. Any compatibility problem will be explicitely
mentionned.</p>
<p>The Recoll term explorer tool in phonetic mode (marginally
useful and optional) uses the <b>aspell</b> package, version
0.60 (utf-8 support) or newer.</p>
<p>If you find problems with this page, the package or its
installation, <em>please</em> <a href="mailto:jfd@recoll.org">
report them</a>.</p>
<h4>What do the release numbers mean?</h4>
<p>The Recoll releases are numbered X.Y.Z. The X
would only change for really major modifications like a big
change in the index format, and possibly won't ever reach
2.</p>
<p>Y is for functional modifications. These may bring bugs, so
if you don't need the new features, you may want to wait a little,
and especially skip the first release (X.Y.0), at least for a few
weeks.</p>
<p>Z changes for <a href="BUGS.html">bug fixes</a> only,
and moving from X.Y.Z to X.Y.Z+u should in general involve
little risk of regression. But, <em>any</em> change can bring
problems, if you are not affected by the corrected bugs (check
the <a href="release-1.18.html">release file</a>), there is
probably no necessity to upgrade anyway.</p>

<h3>Snapshot</h3>
<p>I sometimes release a source tarfile when I consider that the
current development version is stable enough. The current
snapshot contains commits up to 2240 (see
<a href="https://bitbucket.org/medoc/recoll/changesets">the
changelog</a>, and a synthetic abstract in the
current <a href="release-1.16.html">1.16 release notes</a>).

<h3>Prerequisites for building from source:</h3>
<ul>
<li>C++ compiler. Its absence sometimes manifests itself by
strange messages about iconv_open (fixed after 1.13.04).</li>
<li><p>Xapian core development libraries. Most Linux distributions
carry them in their package repository. Or you will find source and
binary packages on the
<a href="http://www.xapian.org/download.php">
Xapian download page</a>. <br />
Recoll should still work with Xapian 1.0, but it is highly
recommended to use a Xapian 1.2 version.</p>
<p><em>Note on building Xapian for older CPUs:</em> The
build configurations for Xapian releases 1.0.21 and
1.2.1 or newer enable the use of SSE2 floating point
instructions. These instructions are not available in CPUs
older than Intel Pentium&nbsp;4 or AMD Athlon&nbsp;64. When
building for such a CPU, you need to add the --disable-sse
flag to the Xapian library configure command. If this is
not done, the problem signals itself by "Illegal
instruction" crashes (SIGILL) in recollindex and recoll.
</p>
</li>
<li>X11 development files.</li>
<li>zlib development files.</li>
<li><p>Qt development files: Qt 4.4 or newer. The Recoll GUI
will not build with Qt releases older than 4.4.</p></li>
<li><p>Qt webkit development: Qt WebKit is quite often
distributed apart from the main Qt lib. It is possible to
configure Recoll not to use Qt WebKit (see
configure&nbsp;--help).</p></li>
<li>Python development package: you can avoid needing this by
configuring with --disable-python-module.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Source repository:</h3>
<p>The <span class="application">Recoll</span> source repository is
hosted on
<a href="http://bitbucket.org/medoc/recoll/overview">bitbucket.org</a>.
The trunk is usually a bit on the bleeding edge, but there is
always a maintenance branch for the current production version.</p>

<h2><a name="packages">Packages</a></h2>
<p>Packages or ports for Recoll are available in the standard
repositories for many distributions.</p>
<p>However they are often a bit older or built with older Xapian
releases. Here follow a number of updated packages and
instructions for a number of distributions.</p>
<p>All binary packages on this page need a Qt 4 (4.4 at least) runtime
environment. To make things easier, on systems where Xapian is
not available from the standard package repositories, the
Recoll package will have a static link to Xapian so that you
do not need to build/install it separately.</p>
<h3><a name="debian">Debian</a></h3>
<p>The Debian Recoll packages are usually fairly up to date (at
least in testing), just use the appropriate Debian repository.</p>
<h3><a name="ubuntu">Ubuntu</a></h3>
<p>There are Personal Package Archives on launchpad.net for
<a href="https://launchpad.net/~recoll-backports/+archive/recoll-1.15-on">
Recoll, kio-recoll and recoll-lens</a>. These were built from the
latest versions, for a set of Ubuntu series. starting at
Lucid. The installation is very simple:
<pre><tt>
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:recoll-backports/recoll-1.15-on
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install recoll
</tt></pre>
<p>Source code for the lens (also included in the main
recoll tar file):<br>
For 1.18 installations: <a href="recoll-lens-1.18.1.2997.tar.gz">
recoll-lens-1.18.1.2997.tar.gz</a><br>
For 1.17: <a href="recoll-lens-1.17.2.2697.tar.gz">
recoll-lens-1.17.2.2697.tar.gz</a></p>
<p>The packages in the standard repository and on the PPA
are a bit different in the sense that the Python extension
is included in the PPA package, but it's a separate
package in the standard repository. This can give rise to
errors about overwriting the Python module when switching
between versions. Typically, the error message would be
like the following:</p>
<pre><tt>
ErrorMessage: trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/recoll.so', which is also in package recoll 1.18.1-1~ppa1~quantal1</tt></pre>
<p>If this happens, you just need to delete
the previous package(s) before installing the other one(s)
instead of performing an upgrade.</p>
<blockquote>
<h4>Notes for Ubuntu Lucid</h4>
<ul>
<li>Under lucid you will need to add the
<a href="https://launchpad.net/~xapian-backports/+archive/xapian-1.2">
Xapian backports PPA</a> to provide the <tt>libxapian22</tt>
package</li>
<li>The <tt>rclepub</tt> filter apparently needs <tt>Python
2.7</tt>. You will need to install it and modify the first
line of the filter script to execute <tt>python2.7</tt>
instead of <tt>python</tt>.</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<h3><a name="mint">Linux Mint</a></h3>
<p>The Ubuntu PPA works perfectly for Mint 13 (and probably
other releases too). Just follow the instructions for Ubuntu.</p>
<h3>RPMS</h3>
<p>You'll need to install the Xapian, Qt, Qt-Webkit and zlib
development packages if you want use the source rpms.</p>
<h3>Fedora</h3>
<p>Recoll is present in the standard Fedora package repositories
starting from F-12. The new versions are tracked quite
closely, so I don't build the rpms any more (email me if you need
one).</p>
<h3>OpenSUSE</h3>
<blockquote>
<p>Recoll is in the KDE:Extra repository
<!-- I now use the OpenSUSE build service to create Recoll
OpenSUSE packages. -->
You just need to add the repository to your
software sources (Yast2->software->Software repositories).<br>
<a href="http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Extra/">
Repository list (supported Suse versions)</a>. After adding the
appropriate repository to your software sources, you will be
able to install recoll and kio_recoll from the software
management interface. The Xapian dependancy will also be
satisfied from the build service repository. Some of the older
repositories do not build antiword, just tell the software manager
to "break" recoll by installing anyway, and get antiword
somewhere else.</p>
</blockquote>
<h3>Mageia</h3>
<blockquote>
<p>Mageia version 2:
<a href="mageia2/recoll-1.18.1-1.mga2.i586.rpm">
mageia2/recoll-1.18.1-1.mga2.i586.rpm,
<a href="mageia2/recoll-debug-1.18.1-1.mga2.i586.rpm">
recoll-debug-1.18.1-1.mga2.i586.rpm</a>. <br>
Source:
<a href="mageia2/recoll-1.18.1-1.mga2.src.rpm">
recoll-1.18.1-1.mga2.src.rpm</a>
</p>
</blockquote>
<h2><a name="ports">Ports</a></h2>
<h3>Mac port</h3>
<p>It seems that Recoll will sometimes find data that Spotlight
misses (especially inside pdfs apparently, which is probably
more to the credit of poppler than recoll itself).</p>
<p>Recoll is in MacPorts and really easy to install:</p>
<ol>
<li><a href="https://trac.macports.org/wiki/InstallingMacPorts">
Install MacPorts</a>.</li>
<li>Type "sudo port install recoll"</li>
</ol>
<p>Recoll is then available from the command line and as an icon in
the usual MacPorts applications place.</p>
<h2>Building on Solaris</h2>
<p>I did not test building the GUI on Solaris for this version. You
will need at least Qt 4.4. The old hints
in <a href="download-1.14.html">the previous page</a> may
still be valid.</p>
<p>Someone did test the indexer and Python module build, they
do work, with a few minor glitches. Be sure to use
GNU <b>make</b> and <b>install</b>.</p>
<h2><a name="translations">Translations</a></h2>
<p>Most of the translations for 1.18 are incomplete
The source translation files are included in the source
release. If your language has some english messages left and
you want to take a shot at fixing the problem, you can send
the results to <a href="mailto:jfd@recoll.org">me</a> and earn
my gratefulness (and your less multilingual
compatriot's)...</p>
<p>You can use the <em>.ts</em> file to alter the translations if you
wish (use Qt's <em>linguist</em> tool to edit the source file,
then <em>lrelease</em> to produce the <em>.qm</em> file.).
The <literal>.qm</literal> file should be copied to
<span class="filename">/usr/[local/]share/recoll/translations</span>
</p>
<p><a href="translations/recoll_xx.ts">recoll_xx.ts</a> is a blank
Recoll 1.18 message file, handy to work on a new translation.</p>
