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

It’s so complex because there are many prerequisites missing in OpenSUSE. It can be very hard for an unexperienced user to identify and install them in order to run Shutter.

Actually I’ve read it, but it looks like a nightmare to a newbie. Damn, why is it so complex?

It depends on gnome-web-photo, that I cannot find. What’s wrong?

@michael pettet
There were some Launchpad changes in the past and maybe you have still the old URL.

The PPA is https://launchpad.net/~shutter/+archive/ppa. The relevant sources.list entries for intrepid are:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/shutter/ppa/ubuntu intrepid main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/shutter/ppa/ubuntu intrepid main

Please let me know if that solves the problem.
