Choosing how to install — ← back to docs
Which one do I want?
The Download page gives you two buttons. Both get you a working copy of Cinnasole — this is a recommendation, not a rule, and either one is fine to pick.
-
Download Cinnasole gets you
cinnasole.pyon its own. This is the option most people want, especially the first time — there's nothing else to set up, you just run it directly withpython3. - Download Install.sh gets you a setup script, for people who'd rather have it handle a few steps for them. It has one real requirement, covered below.
If you download Install.sh
install.sh doesn't work by itself — it expects
cinnasole.py to already be sitting right next to it,
in the same folder, named exactly cinnasole.py. If
you only download install.sh and run it on its own,
it won't have anything to install.
So if you want to use it, grab both files from the Download page and put them in the same folder. Then, from inside that folder:
bash install.sh
That's it — run from the same folder as both files, with
bash, not python3 (that part's for
cinnasole.py itself, once it's set up).
Just want the simplest path?
Download cinnasole.py on its own and run it directly.
No second file, no extra command — see the
docs for the full walkthrough.
