- Intel x86 processor, 500 MHz (or faster) with 256 MB
RAM.
- Up to 230 MB in your TMP directory (as indicated by
the value of your 'TMP' environment variable) during
installation, even if you plan to install Komodo to
another drive. If you do not have the required space on
this drive, manually set the 'TMP' environment variable
to a directory on a drive with sufficient space.
Operating System Requirements
Supported operating systems:
The following platforms are officially supported.
Current Critical Updates, Windows Updates, and Service
Packs must be installed (see http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com).
- Windows Vista
- Windows XP
- Windows Server 2003
- Windows 2000
Software Prerequisites on Windows
Installation Prerequisites:
- Windows 98, Me and NT users:
Microsoft Windows Installer (MSI) version 2.0 or greater
(
MSI 2.0 for 9x and Me,
MSI 2.0 for NT)
- Windows 98/NT4 Users: Windows Scripting
Host: Microsoft's Windows Scripting Host is
required by the Microsoft Windows Installer. Older
versions of Windows did not include the Windows Scripting
Host. To check if your system has the Windows Scripting
Host, select Run from the Windows Start
menu, and enter
wscript . If the Windows
Script Host Setting dialog appears, WSH is installed on
your system. If it doesn't, download the WSH from
Microsoft website.
Miscellaneous Prerequisites:
- Perl Dev Kit: In order to build
executable programs, ActiveX controls and Windows
services in Perl, you must have ActiveState's Perl
Dev Kit version 3.1 or greater installed on your
system.
Komodo IDE requires a 21-day Trial or Permanent license
to run. For a 21-day Trial, follow the license installation
prompts when running Komodo for the first time. To install
a Permanent license:
- Download the license installer from the
My Downloads page.
- Double-click the downloaded installer.
Newer versions of Komodo should not be installed in the
same directory as older versions. For major version
upgrades (e.g. 3.5.3 to 4.0) the installer will
automatically put Komodo in a new directory. However for
"point" release upgrades (e.g. 3.5 to 3.5.3), you should
completely uninstall
the older version before installing the new one.
Before you start:
- If you intend to run the installation from a shared
network drive, your system must have
SYSTEM
rights (or greater) to the directory from which the
installation is run. Alternatively, run the installation
from a local drive.
To install Komodo on Windows:
- Ensure you have the prerequisite hardware and
software.
- Download the Komodo installer file.
- Double-click the installer file and follow the
instructions.
When installation is complete, you will see an
ActiveState Komodo icon on your desktop.
Komodo can also be installed from the command line. For
example:
c:\> msiexec.exe /i Komodo-<version>.msi
Komodo's installer uses Windows Installer technology,
which allows you to partially control the install from the
command line. For example:
You can have the Komodo installer run with a reduced
user interface. For example, the following will install
silently and only open a dialog when the installation is
complete.
c:\> msiexec.exe /i Komodo-<version>.msi /qn+
The following will install with no dialog at all.
c:\> msiexec.exe /i Komodo-<version>.msi /q
You can generate a log of the Komodo installation with
the following command:
c:\> msiexec.exe /i Komodo-<version>.msi /L*v install.log
Command line options can be used to configure Komodo
installation properties. The following will install Komodo
to "E:\myapps\Komodo", instead of the default location:
c:\> msiexec.exe /i Komodo-<version>.msi INSTALLDIR=D:\myapps\Komodo
Komodo is divided into a number of distinct features. In
the "Customize Setup" dialog you can select which features
to install. You can also do this on the command line with
the ADDLOCAL property. For example, the following command
will install just the core Komodo functionality (i.e. not
the PyWin32 extensions or the documentation.
c:\> msiexec.exe /i Komodo-<version>.msi ADDLOCAL=core
The current set of Komodo features are:
core Komodo core
env Windows environment settings
desktop Desktop shortcut
quicklaunch Quick launch shortcut
register Register this as the default Komodo
docs Documentation
The hierarchy denotes dependencies (i.e. to install
quicklaunch you must install the
env .
To install Komodo 4.2.1, you must first
uninstall any other
Komodo 4.2 installation. You may,
however, install Komodo 4.2.1 side-by-side
with other Komodo X.Y version (for example Komodo 3.1) as
long as you install to a separate and unique directory.
Komodo 4.2 will import settings from
previous Komodo versions.
To start Komodo on Windows, use one of the following
methods:
- Double-click the desktop icon.
- Select Start|Programs|ActiveState
Komodo|Komodo.
- Add the Komodo install directory to your
PATH environment variable, then from the
command line prompt, enter komodo .
To uninstall Komodo, select
Start|Programs|ActiveState Komodo|Modify or
Uninstall Komodo.
Alternatively, use the Add/Remove
Programs menu (accessible from the Windows Control
Panel).

To add Perl or Python to the PATH
environment variable, do one of the following:
- Modify your
PATH environment variable.
For example, if you use the Bash shell, add the following
line to your ~/.bashrc file:
export PATH=<installdir>/bin:$PATH
...where <installdir> points to the directory
where you installed ActivePerl or ActivePython.
- Create a symbolic link to the Perl or Python
executable. For example, for ActivePerl, enter:
ln -s <installdir>/bin/perl /usr/local/bin/perl
For ActivePython, enter:
ln -s <installdir>/bin/python /usr/local/bin/python
...where <installdir> points to the directory
where you installed ActivePerl or ActivePython.
Komodo IDE requires a 21-day Trial or Permanent license
to run. For a 21-day Trial, follow the license installation
prompts when running Komodo for the first time. To install
a Permanent license:
- Download the license installer from the
My Downloads page.
- Change the permissions on the downloaded file to
allow execution (e.g. `
chmod +x
Komodo_<version>_<license#>.bin `)
- Run the installer (e.g.
`
./Komodo_<version>_<license#>.bin `).
Newer versions of Komodo should not be installed in the
same directory as older versions. For major version
upgrades (e.g. 3.5.3 to 4.0) the installer will
automatically put Komodo in a new directory. However for
"point" release upgrades (e.g. 3.5 to 3.5.3), you should
completely uninstall
the older version before installing the new one.
This version of Komodo allows non-root installation on
Linux. Note, however, that the user who executes the
license file will be the user who is licensed to use the
software.
To install Komodo on Linux:
- Download the Komodo installer (.tar.gz file)
into a convenient directory.
- Unpack the tarball:
tar -xvzf Komodo-<version>-<platform>.tar.gz
- Change to the new directory:
cd Komodo-<version>-<platform>
- Run the install script ("install.sh"):
./install.sh
- Answer the installer prompts:
-
- Specify where you want Komodo installed, or press
'Enter' to accept the default location
(
/home/<username>/Komodo-<IDE|Edit>-x.y ).The
-I option can be used to specify the install
directory. For example:
./install.sh -I ~/opt/Komodo-IDE-4.2
If multiple users are sharing the system and
will be using the same installation, install Komodo
in a location every user can access (e.g.
/opt/Komodo-x.x/ or
/usr/local/Komodo-x.x/ ).
Note:
- Each Komodo user requires their own license key.
- Do not install Komodo in a path that contains spaces or
non-alphanumeric characters.
- Be sure to install Komodo into its own directory (i.e. not
directly in an existing directory containing shared files and
directories such as
/usr/local ).
- Once the installer has finished, add Komodo to your
PATH with one of the following:
After completing the installation, you can delete the
temporary directory where the Komodo tarball was
unpacked.
To start Komodo on Linux enter `komodo ` at
the command line or create a shortcut on your desktop or in
your toolbar using the full path to the komodo
executable.
To uninstall Komodo on Linux:
- Delete the directory that Komodo created during
installation.
- If you wish to delete your Komodo preferences, delete
the
~/.komodo directory. If you do not
delete this directory, subsequent installations of Komodo
will use the same preferences.
Note: You cannot relocate an existing
Komodo installation to a new directory by simply moving it.
You must uninstall Komodo from the existing location and
reinstall it in the new location.
