Installation Guide

Dependencies

You need to install the dbus Python 2 module from your OS distribution, and the standard Python package manager pip.

You need Zim too. This plugin is written for Zim 0.67 and later.

Debian and derivatives

apt install python-dbus
apt install python-pip
apt install zim

Red Hat and derivatives

yum install dbus-python
yum install python-pip
yum install Zim

Fetch and install Zimsearch

To fetch and install zimsearch, try:

cd path/to/src
git clone https://github.com/achadwick/zimsearch.git
cd zimsearch
sudo pip install .   # normally uses /usr/local/share

If you normally have write access to /usr/local with an otherwise unprivileged install account, you don't have to use sudo. But please use --system where it's supported if you are doing this.

All the usual pip and setup.py options are supported, but installations in your personal home folder's .local won't work. That's because gnome-shell does not look in user homes for its search providers.

You may need to run this after install for zim to see it though.

ls -s /usr/local/share/zim/plugins/gnomeshellsearch.py ~/.local/share/zim/plugins

You'll need to log out and back in again after installing.

Updating Zimsearch

cd path/to/src/zimsearch
git pull
sudo pip install --upgrade .

Uninstalling Zimsearch

pip uninstall zimsearch
