 .

 pip install leo should work again as before.

 Issue #3767  now 
 suggests supporting pip install -r requirements.txt
 as an easy way to install requirements *from within a cloned GitHub 
 repo*.

 All comments and questions are welcome.

PS.  archive.org *is* a long term resource, be sure to archive 
leoeditor.com after each major release.

Re: Should leoeditor.com Be Moved To GitHub or Somewhere Else?

[George Zipperlen]

I don't know how long I would count on whoever in the future owns github to 
continue hosting *.github.io when some future beancounter reassesses their 
margins.

E.g.  I'm glad that leoeditor.com wasn't hosted on geocities... 
sourceforge... google+...

Even GitLab is mumbling about "inactive" repositories... cue CI/CD script 
to auto add new comment periodically.

On the assumption that you are using bash as your shell,
you can set how far back in history it remembers with the

HISTSIZE environment variable in .profile, or .bashrc

$ man bash


<https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/128396/how-to-set-the-number-of-commands-history-recalls>

Another trick is the script command to record all your keystrokes in a 
terminal session.  Can be a lot of cruft,
if you're using a curses based editor, but it's still filterable with unix 
tools...

$ man script

Very handy when you are using ssh to do something on a remote system.

On MacOS, I prefer Anaconda to homebrew for keeping different python 
environments from interfering with 
each other.  Once you get over the hump, virtual python environments are 
wonderful.   Allows me to run old
python2.7 or python3.5 scripts without porting...  Even keeps the 
appropriate qt versions working.
But I use homebrew for elixir, mutt, and a few other things.
