Install

KochMorse is a Qt5 application using portaudio as its audio backend. Hence it is pretty platform independent. It runs under Linux, MacOS X and Windows. Below you will find detailed instructions how to install Koch Morse under the respective OS.

Linux

I provide some pre-build binary packages though the openSuSE build service. That service allows to build and distribute binary packages via native package repositories. By adding one of these repositories to your list of software sources, you gain two advantages. First of all, the necessary dependencies of KochMorse are installed automatically and secondly, you will get updates of KochMorse automatically.

Below, I describe how the repositories are added for openSuSE, Fedora and Ubuntu and KochMorse is installed. Alternatively, you may follow the instructions provided by the openSuSE build service.

Ubuntu

Under Ubuntu 14.04, add the following line to the file /etc/apt/sources.lst

deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/hannesmatuschek:/KochMorse/xUbuntu_14.04/ ./

and under Ubuntu 14.10, the line

deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/hannesmatuschek:/KochMorse/xUbuntu_14.10/     ./

Then, you need to import the keyfile to your keyring, by executing

wget -q -O - "http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/hannesmatuschek:/KochMorse/xUbuntu_14.04/Release.key" | sudo apt-key add - 

Finally, update the package database by calling

sudo apt-get update

from command line. Now, you can install KochMorse by calling

sudo apt-get install kochmorse

Fedora

Under Fedora, it is possible to add the corresponding repository by a single call automatically. Simply execute

yum-config-manager --add-repo https://github.com/hmatuschek/kochmorse/raw/master/dist/linux/kochmorse.fedora.repo

and then

yum-config-manager --enable KochMorse

to add the repository. Finally, install KochMorse by calling

yum install kochmorse 

OpenSuSE

Under openSuSE 13.1, execute the following line on a command line

zypper addrepo --check --name "Koch Morse"  \
  http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/hannesmatuschek:/KochMorse/openSUSE_13.1/ \
  kochmorse

and under openSuSE 13.2, execute

zypper addrepo --check --name "Koch Morse"  \
  http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/hannesmatuschek:/KochMorse/openSUSE_13.2/ \
  kochmorse

Then, install KochMorse by executing

zypper install kochmorse

MacOS X

Download the DMG file from latest release. It contains the KochMorse.app. Simply drag it into your Applications folder.

Windows

Download the kochmorse-x.x.x-setup.exe file from latest release. Execute it to install KochMorse.
