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 changes file), there is
- probably no necessity to upgrade anyway.
-
-
-
-
Current release distribution: 1.17.4:
-
-
recoll-1.17.4.tar.gz.
-
-
-
-
-
Prerequisites for building from source:
-
- - C++ compiler. Its absence sometimes manifests itself by
- strange messages about iconv_open (fixed after 1.13.04).
-
- Xapian core development libraries. Most Linux distributions
- carry them in their package repository. Or you will find source and
- binary packages on the
-
- Xapian download page.
- Recoll should still work with Xapian 1.0, but it is highly
- recommended to use a Xapian 1.2 version.
-
- Note on building Xapian for older CPUs: 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 4 or AMD Athlon 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.
-
-
- - X11 development files.
-
- - zlib development files.
-
-
Qt development files: Qt 4.4 or newer. The Recoll GUI
- will not build with Qt releases older than 4.4.
- Python development package: you can avoid needing this by
- configuring with --disable-python-module.
-
-
-
-
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:
-
- 1.17.3.
- 1.17.2.
- 1.17.1.
- 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 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.
-
-
-
-
The Debian Recoll packages are usually fairly up to date (at
- least in testing), just use the appropriate Debian repository.
-
-
-
-
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
-
-
-
-
-
The Ubuntu PPA works perfectly for Mint 13 (and probably
- other releases too). Just follow the instructions for Ubuntu.
-
-
RPMS
-
-
Some Fedora and Mandriva packages unfortunately think that they
- depend on exiftool (which is needed by the little used jpeg
- info filter), due to excessive rpmbuild cleverness.
-
You'll need to install the Xapian, Qt, 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.
-
-
-
Mandriva
-
-
- Mandriva linux 2011 using Qt 4 and the Xapian version
- from the Mandriva repository.:
-
- recoll-1.17.2-1-mdv2011.0.i586.rpm,
-
- recoll-debug-1.17.2-1-mdv2011.0.i586.rpm.
- Source:
-
- recoll-1.17.2-1.src.rpm

-
-
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:
-
- -
- Install MacPorts.
- - Type "sudo port install recoll"
-
-
-
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.
-
-
-
-
Most of the translations for 1.17 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 1.17 message file, handy to work on a new translation.
-
-
Updated 1.17 translations that became available after the
- release:
-
-
A Greek translation for 1.17, thanks to Dimitrios
- recoll_el.ts
- recoll_el.qm

Note that, if you are running an older release,

- appropriate maintenance branch
- on bitbucket.

- 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
-
-
-
- - Under lucid you will need to add the
-
- Xapian backports PPA to provide the libxapian22
- package
-
- - The rclepub filter apparently needs Python
- 2.7. You will need to install it and modify the first
- line of the filter script to execute python2.7
- instead of python.

-
-
Instructions for building
-
-
Normally, it's just configure; make; make install. If a bit
- more detail is needed,
-
- there is some in the manual.
-
-
Older recoll releases:
-
-
A whole bunch is
- there, but I can see
- no reason whatsoever to use one of these versions.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
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 some pointers to find newer packages for some
- distributions. In most cases, you will just need to use an
- alternate repository.
-
-
I sometimes build binary packages when no appropriate repository
- exists. Any binary package directly linked from 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.
-
-
-
-
The Debian Recoll packages are usually fairly up to date (at least in
-testing), just use the appropriate Debian repository.
-
-
Except they're not at the moment (2014-05).... So here are
-1.19.14p2 packages for Debian stable (Wheezy):
-python3-recoll_1.19.14p2-1_amd64.deb
-python3-recoll_1.19.14p2-1_i386.deb
-python-recoll_1.19.14p2-1_amd64.deb

-recoll_1.19.14p2-1_amd64.deb
-recoll_1.19.14p2-1_i386.deb
-
-
-
You can list the directory for the
-source package and other files).
-
-
-
-
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
-
-
-
The 1.19 packages in the PPA now have a separate package
- for the Python extension, like the standard ones, so there should be
- no more conflict issues while switching from the PPA to the normal
- repositories and back.
-
-
- Notes for Ubuntu Lucid
-
- - If you still use Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid), you will need
- to add the Xapian
- backports PPA to provide the libxapian22 package
- - The
rclepub filter apparently needs Python
- 2.7. You will need to install it and modify the first line of the

-
Fedora
-
-
Recoll is present in the standard Fedora package repositories starting from
- F-12. The new versions are usually tracked quite closely, but
- 1.19.14p2 is not there yet, so here are some packages
- for Fedora 20 and Fedora
- 21. There are only x86_64 binaries for now, use the source rpm
- for other archs.
