Download

This is the latest official Comix release available through the sourceforge.net mirrors.

• » comix-3.6.4.tar.gz - 388.9 KiB

Installation

Run python install.py install as root to install Comix in /usr/local. To uninstall, simply run python install.py uninstall.

If you wish to install Comix in another base directory, use the --installdir option. Example: python install.py install --installdir /usr. If you have installed with --installdir, do not forget to use the same option when uninstalling.

There is also an option, --no-mime, that can be used to tell install.py that it should not register new mime types for cbz, cbr and cbt archives or install the thumbnail creation script for these files used by some file managers.

Example:
# tar -xzf comix-x.y.tar.gz
# cd comix-x.y
# python install.py install

You can even run the comix script file by it self in any location, but if you want the custom icons and translations to be available you should either run it in the source directory or install it.

Dependencies

You need PyGTK 2.8 or newer and PIL (Python Imaging Library) 1.1.4 or newer to run Comix. You also need unrar if you wish to read RAR archives.
