# Download & Installation
|
|
|
|
## Dependencies
|
|
|
|
Since kramdown is written in Ruby, you just need the [Ruby interpreter](http://www.ruby-lang.org),
|
|
version 2.x. There are no other dependencies.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Compatibility Notes
|
|
|
|
kramdown should work on any platform which supports Ruby. It has been successfully tested on the
|
|
following platforms:
|
|
|
|
* Linux with Ruby 2.x and jruby 9.0.0.0.
|
|
|
|
See the platform specific installation notes for more information!

## Platform Specific Installation Instructions
|
|
|
|
### Linux
|
|
|
|
You need to make sure that Ruby is installed. If it isn't, consult the documentation of the Linux
|
|
distribution you are using on how to install it. For example, in case of Ubuntu 17.10 (this should
|
|
probably also work for any newer Ubuntu version or any recent Debian based distribution) all you
|
|
need to do is:
|
|
|
|
sudo apt-get install ruby
|
|
|
|
Once you have Ruby installed, you need to execute the following command to install kramdown:
|
|
|
|
sudo gem install kramdown
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Mac OS X
|
|
|
|
Mac OS X Snow Leopard comes with Ruby and Rubygems preinstalled. So installing kramdown is as easy
|
|
as running:
|
|
|
|
sudo gem install kramdown
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Windows
|
|
|
|
You need to install Ruby first. This can easily be done by using the [RubyInstaller] - just download
|
|
the installation binary and run it. After that open a command shell (select `Start -> Run...`, then
|
|
enter `cmd` and click on `Ok`) and type in the following:
|
|
|
|
gem install kramdown
|
|
|
|
[RubyInstaller]: http://rubyinstaller.org
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Generic Installation Instructions
