Hi Hilton,

Mine also failed

The new version is 2.0, should be available soon

To see if you can install :

here is the deb : Booktype 2.0-pre-release nightly snapshots available :

Hi All

I looked at booktype quickly: https://www.sourcefabric.org/en/booktype/download
I tried the auto install but it failed on Ubuntu 14.04 - not a good start.

Cheers

Hi Raoul,

Thanks for the suggestion.

"But ultimately, a lot of people leave because editing is just too complex."

That is why they are creating VisualEditor

reStructuredText and Wiki markup are too complex for a lot of people

I unfortunately, have not been able to install Pubsweet or booktype ( I wanted to install them locally, not on the web )
The reason why I wanted this locally, is for schools which don't have internet, and if I want to setup a private book/manual creation system.

Raoul, you are the only one that has responded to my e-mail, Thanks

I was hoping that more people would have responded, as I think this is very important for us

William

Meh. GUI apps are over-rated.

The nice thing about Sphinx is that it uses reStructuredText, which
looks a lot like how you see it eventually.

Heading
=======

**Bold**

Anyway, it was just a suggestion.
