Basic Installation
Before you can use this software you will need to install it. There are several ways to install this software so we'll go over them here.

Reborn OS is a small yet prosperous Linux distribution based on a powerful distribution called Arch Linux. It is free, open source, and offers the easiest way of installing KodeByter. To install KodeByter on Reborn OS, simply go to pamac (Add/Remove Software) and search for "KodeByter." You should see a result in the "Repositories" section from the repository called "Reborn-OS." Click the check box to the left and at the bottom click "Apply." Now your software will begin installing!
The second way of installing it is with pacman. To install KodeByter on Reborn OS through pacman, open up a terminal and run the following commands as root:
pacman -Syy
then
pacman -S KodeByter
Now it should begin to install. If it fails you may need to try the second command another time.
Note: It is not possible to install software while your system is updating.
On the main KodeByter GitHub page, download the package or clone it. Once the download/clone is complete, go to the folder and extract it. Now, from a terminal cd into the folder like this for example:
cd ~/kodebyter-master
Then simply run:
makepkg
Note: If you are getting error messages, use the "On Every Distribution" section. It is longer, but should not have any errors.
There is no automatic installer for Debian-based and RedHat-based distributions such as Fedora, Ubuntu, Deepin, and Zorin. You will have to place the files manually. To do this, make sure you have the package downloaded and extracted like in the "Through Another Arch-Based Distribution" section. Then, instead of running makepkg, run these commands as root:
mkdir /usr/share/kodebyter/
cp -i -v kodebyter.py /usr/share/kodebyter/
cp -i -v kodebyter.svg /usr/share/kodebyter/
cp -i -v kodebyter /usr/bin/
cp -i -v kodebyter.desktop /usr/share/applications/
Now you should be able to find your application in the application launcher. If you can't, try rebooting. If it still doesn't show up try typing:
kodebyter
in terminal or:
/usr/bin/kodebyter
Note: Ubuntu and Zorin are always behind on Python versions so you may need to use an older version of the kodebyter.py file. Try getting it here.
