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.

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

Fixed Postr package:

Shutter makes use of the Postr program to enable uploading to Flickr (see how to set that up). However, the Postr package is broken in older versions of Ubuntu and doesn’t register itself as a program to open pictures with – so it won’t show up in Screenshot Open.

Ubuntu 8.04, 8.10, 9.04: postr
