Downloads

Shutter is available for any major GNU/Linux distribution and can be installed using your package manager. If you want to upgrade to the latest release, you can find installation instructions in our download section.

Ubuntu PPA repository (recommended):

We are using Launchpad to distribute the different versions of Shutter. If you’re on Ubuntu (versions 8.04 to 10.10 are supported), it’s preferred that you install this way because installing is easier, and you’ll be automatically notified of available updates.

A detailed guide on installing from the PPA is available here, though you can also install using these directions:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:shutter/ppa
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install shutter

Ubuntu packages:

If you don’t want to add the repository but install from packages, here they are:

Ubuntu 10.10 “Maverick Meerkat”: Shutter

Ubuntu 10.04 “Lucid Lynx”: libnet-dbus-glib-perl (32bit, 64bit) and Shutter

Ubuntu 9.10 “Karmic Koala”: Shutter

Ubuntu 8.04 “Hardy Heron”: gtkimageview (32bit, 64bit, or netbook), libgtk2-imageview-perl (32bit, 64bit, or netbook), libgoo-canvas-perl (32bit, 64bit, or netbook) and Shutter

No longer supported:

Ubuntu 9.04 “Jaunty Jackalope”: libgoo-canvas-perl (32bit, 64bit, or netbook) and Shutter

Ubuntu 8.10 “Intrepid Ibex”: libgoo-canvas-perl (32bit, 64bit, or netbook) and Shutter

Ubuntu 7.10 “Gutsy Gibbon”: gtkimageview (32bit or 64bit), libgtk2-imageview-perl (32bit or 64bit), libgoo-canvas-perl (32bit or 64bit) and Shutter

I’ve already asked the maintainer to build 64bit packages. I don’t know if there are any 64bit packages somewhere else.
I’ll let you know if i have any news here.

Yeah the fedora link ONLY has then 32 bit versions of those packages, is there anyway I can find 64 bit ones?

In my Ubuntu 8.10, I can install it but can’t launch it.

I try to launch Shutter from terminal, but get these error messages:
Use of uninitialized value $x in scalar assignment at /usr/share/perl/5.10/utf8_heavy.pl line 242.
Use of uninitialized value $x in pattern match (m//) at /usr/share/perl/5.10/utf8_heavy.pl line 243.

Any idea?

Hm, there are only i386 packages for fedora. I’ll contact the packager and ask him to package some x84_64 packages as well.

@Ignacio
You need to install the dependencies listed above (sorry, I’ve just updated the list because there were some things missing). The package names may differ in Mandriva.

There used to be some rpm packages as well for older versions (see external link above). I’ve already contacted the packager so there might be some new packages for the latest Shutter release as well. I’ll let you know when they will be available.

Thanks for your investigation here. The disadvantage is that you will not be able to use the built-in drawing tool when disabling the canvas. I’ll set up Debian lenny today and see what i can do here.

What i can do to make it work in Mandriva 2009.0…?

[pc-002@localhost bin]$ ./shutter /usr/lib64/
Can’t locate Gnome2.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl .) at ./shutter line 32.

It can work in my Debian etch just need little changes. I can not find the three optional perl model in my Debian source. So I disable canvas in the file(shutter-0.70.orig/share/shutter/resources/modules/Shutter/Draw/DrawingTool.pm) line 30. Then run bin/shutter and it works very well.
