Home - XXLRay/libreshot GitHub Wiki

Everybody should be able to install libreshot and check out the code freely via:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install blender frei0r-plugins libmlt6 libav-tools python-mlt python-pygoocanvas git inkscape -y
git clone https://github.com/XXLRay/libreshot.git ~/libreshot

You should then be able to start libreshot by:

~/libreshot/bin/libreshot

If you want to have it accessible via the start menu in Ubuntu or Mint you need to create a file:

sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/libreshot.desktop

The content is as follows (replace "user" by your username):

[Desktop Entry]

Notify me about your github account to be added as admin who can then push to the repository.

For those who are not familiar with git you can make local commits without messing up the server side repository. You are only making stuff available for others via git push.
