Installation

Installation is quite simple.
You can install Literate by downloading a binary if a binary is provided for your system. Otherwise you can also build from source by downloading the source code or cloning the github respository.

Building from source

Mac

On Mac you can use brew to build Literate from source:

$ brew tap zyedidia/literate
$ brew install --HEAD literate

For now, Literate is head only.

---

Literate is made with the D programming language so you must install dmd (D compiler) and dub (D package manager). Then you should download the source code or clone the repository and run the following commands:

$ cd Literate
$ make

You can find the binary in path/to/Literate/bin (you may want to add this to your path).

Vim Plugin

In addition, there is also a vim plugin which adds syntax highlighting. You can get it here. I recommend you install it with Pathogen or Vundle or whichever plugin manager you use. See the manual for some extra tips on making Literate work even better with Vim.
