Tutorial for Beginners: Installation Guide

This is step-by-step tutorial for UNIX system beginner users, which should help them with installing code-format plugin for Geany.

Step 1

Run these commands in terminal (as administrator):
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essentials automake libtool clang-format pkg-config gtk+-2.0

Step 2

Download codebrainz' code-format repository from GitHub as ZIP file and extract it, or download it using git command:
git clone https://github.com/codebrainz/code-format

Step 3

Go to the root directory of downloaded repository and run these commands:
autoreconf
automake
sudo ./configure
sudo make
sudo make install
That should install this plugin to Geany system folders and you should be able to find it in Geany in Tools > Plugin Manager.
In case the plugin is not listed there, you can add installation path to Edit > Preferences > Extra plugin path field. The installation path is /usr/local/lib/geany. This should fix the problem.
