Admin notes
-----------

I unpacked the latest release in a pkg subdirectory in the module hierarchy. Then I created a modified version of their ``run`` script as ``bin/rednotebook``:

.. code-block:: bash

    #! /bin/bash
    #
    # Little helper script that runs RedNotebook without installing it.
    #
    # Note: No need to translate strings locally, since they won't be
    # picked up anyway.
    #

    set -euo pipefail

    # Change into RedNotebook directory.
    # cd "$(dirname "$0")"
    cd /common/debian/9.1/Desktop/rednotebook/rednotebook-2.5/pkg

    # Run RedNotebook.
    python3 rednotebook/journal.py "$@"
