## Installation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I don't currently provide binary releases, though I may create these if there is sufficient demand.
|
||
|
|
Until then, users can install *obsidian-export* from source using [Cargo](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Install the Rust toolchain: [https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install)
|
||
|
|
1. Run: `cargo install https://github.com/zoni/obsidian-export.git --locked`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The same `cargo install` command can be used to upgrade to a newer version as well.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Supported Operating Systems
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Obsidian-export has only been tested on GNU/Linux, but should run on any modern Unix-like system.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Windows has not been tested and is unsupported at this time.
|
||
|
|
Experience reports from Windows users would be welcome however, and Windows support may be considered if the current UTF-8 filename assumption (see below) can hold true on Windows.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Character encodings
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
At present, UTF-8 character encoding is assumed for all note text as well as filenames.
|
||
|
|
All text and file handling performs [lossy conversion to Unicode strings](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/string/struct.String.html#method.from_utf8_lossy).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Use of non-UTF8 encodings may lead to issues like incorrect text replacement and failure to find linked notes.
|
||
|
|
While this may change in the future, there are no plans to change this behavior on the short term.
