General information

+ +

The current version is 1.18.2. + Release notes.

+ +

The download page for Recoll 1.17 is + still available.

+ +

Recoll + Installation / building manual.

+ +

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: take a look at the list and + decide what you need to + install. Also new or updated + filters sometimes become available after a release. As a + rule, all filters are compatible with all Recoll + versions. Any compatibility problem will be explicitely + mentionned.

+ +

The Recoll term explorer tool in phonetic mode (marginally + useful and optional) uses the aspell package, version + 0.60 (utf-8 support) or newer.

+ +

If you find problems with this page, the package or its + installation, please + report them.

+ +

What do the release numbers mean?

+ +

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.

+ +

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.

+ +

Z changes for bug fixes only, + and moving from X.Y.Z to X.Y.Z+u should in general involve + little risk of regression. But, any change can bring + problems, if you are not affected by the corrected bugs (check + the release file), there is + probably no necessity to upgrade anyway.

+ +

Source

+ +

Current release distribution: 1.18.2:

+ +

recoll-1.18.2.tar.gz. +

+ + + +

Prerequisites for building from source:

+ + +

Source repository:

+

The Recoll source repository is + hosted on + bitbucket.org. + The trunk is usually a bit on the bleeding edge, but there is + always a maintenance branch for the current production version.

+ +

Older recoll releases:

+

+ 1.18.1. + 1.17.3. + 1.16.2. + 1.15.9. + 1.14.4. + 1.13.04. + 1.12.4. + 1.11.4. + 1.10.6. + 1.9.0. + 1.8.2. + 1.7.6. + 1.6.3. + 1.5.11. + 1.4.3. + 1.3.3. + 1.2.3. + 1.1.0. + 1.0.16. +

+ +

Packages

+ +

Packages or ports for Recoll are available in the standard + repositories for many distributions.

+

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.

+

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.

+ +

Debian

+ +

The Debian Recoll packages are usually fairly up to date (at + least in testing), just use the appropriate Debian repository.

+ +

Ubuntu

+ +

There are Personal Package Archives on launchpad.net for + + Recoll, kio-recoll and recoll-lens. These were built from the + latest versions, for a set of Ubuntu series. starting at + Lucid. The installation is very simple: + 


+          sudo add-apt-repository ppa:recoll-backports/recoll-1.15-on
+          sudo apt-get update
+          sudo apt-get install recoll
+
+ +

Source code for the lens (also included in the main + recoll tar file):
+ For 1.18 installations: + recoll-lens-1.18.1.2997.tar.gz
+ For 1.17: + recoll-lens-1.17.2.2697.tar.gz

+ +

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:

+ + 

+    ErrorMessage: trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/recoll.so', which is also in package recoll 1.18.1-1~ppa1~quantal1
+ +

If this happens, you just need to delete + the previous package(s) before installing the other one(s) + instead of performing an upgrade.

+ +
+

Notes for Ubuntu Lucid

+ + +
+ +

Linux Mint

+ +

The Ubuntu PPA works perfectly for Mint 13 (and probably + other releases too). Just follow the instructions for Ubuntu.

+ +

RPMS

+

You'll need to install the Xapian, Qt, Qt-Webkit and zlib + development packages if you want use the source rpms.

+ +

Fedora

+ +

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).

+ +

OpenSUSE

+
+

Recoll is in the KDE:Extra repository + + + You just need to add the repository to your + software sources (Yast2->software->Software repositories).
+ + Repository list (supported Suse versions). 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.

+
+ +

Mageia

+
+ +

Mageia version 2: + + mageia2/recoll-1.18.1-1.mga2.i586.rpm, + + recoll-debug-1.18.1-1.mga2.i586.rpm.
+ Source: + + recoll-1.18.1-1.mga2.src.rpm +

+
+ +

Ports

+ +

Mac port

+ +

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).

+

Recoll is in MacPorts and really easy to install:

+
    +
  1. + Install MacPorts.
    2. +
  2. Type "sudo port install recoll"
    3. +
+ +

Recoll is then available from the command line and as an icon in + the usual MacPorts applications place.

+ +

Building on Solaris

+

I did not test building the GUI on Solaris for this version. You + will need at least Qt 4.4. The old hints + in the previous page may + still be valid.

+

Someone did test the indexer and Python module build, they + do work, with a few minor glitches. Be sure to use + GNU make and install.

+ +

Translations

+ +

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 me and earn + my gratefulness (and your less multilingual + compatriot's)...

+ +

You can use the .ts file to alter the translations if you + wish (use Qt's linguist tool to edit the source file, + then lrelease to produce the .qm file.). + The .qm file should be copied to + /usr/[local/]share/recoll/translations +

+ +

recoll_xx.ts is a blank + Recoll 1.18 message file, handy to work on a new translation.

+ +

A Czech translation for 1.18, thanks to Pavel + recoll_cs.ts + recoll_cs.qm +

+ + +

Note that, if you are running an older release, + you may find updated messages by looking inside the + appropriate maintenance branch + on bitbucket.
