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

    @Cam

    I don’t believe anybody in openSUSE packaged Shutter yet, unfortunately.

    @Whupper
    Correct – perl-Gnome2 is missing. I am not an openSUSE user…Maybe it is possible to install a .rpm package that was build for 11.1?

    Doh, that wasn’t very clear was it. Sorry about that.

    When I start Shutter from the command line I get:
    —- BEGIN —–
    Can’t locate Gnome2.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0 /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/vendor_perl .) at ./shutter line 32.
    BEGIN failed–compilation aborted at ./shutter line 32
    —- END —–

    I installed what I thought are relevant packages from Yast. Then I followed steps at http://tuxrocket.com/archives/tinker/717 to install other dependent packages which are not in Yast:

    Gnome2-GConf-1.044.tar.gz
    Goo-Canvas-0.06.tar.gz
    HTTP-Response-Encoding-0.05.tar.gz
    WWW-Mechanize-1.54.tar.gz
    Gnome2-Wnck-0.16.tar.gz
    Gtk2-ImageView-0.05.tar.gz
    HTTP-Server-Simple-0.38.tar.gz
    X11-Protocol-0.56.tar.g

    I’m pretty sure that’s all I did in the past and it worked. A friend of mine who knows Linux better than me IM’ed me: “weird …. the suse repos seem to be missing the Gnome-perl bindings libraries. Gnome-python bindings are there but no perl bindings”

    I’m somewhat new to Linux so I don’t know where to go from here and was wondering if anyone else tried the new Opensuse 11.2 release and got it working.

    What do you mean with `can’t get it working`? Is Shutter not running properly? Are there any error messages when you are trying to start it via terminal? Or are you not able to determine and install the relevant dependencies on your system?

    I formatted my hard drive and installed Opensuse 11.2, and now can’t get Shutter working. I’ve always got it working in the past so I wonder if something has changed in 11.2. e.g. Yast doesn’t have perl-Gnome2 that I can see.

    Any ideas?

    I totally agree that supporting as many platforms as possible should be a target for most software projects nowadays, but there are some good – in my opinion – reasons against is in some special cases.

    One of the most important things is that Shutter depends on software components that are only available on Linux and comparable platforms (e.g. some gnome libraries and especially a fully working X-Server).
    Shutter is using xlib calls in many cases to perform the various tasks of taking screenshots. Most parts of the application had to be rewritten when multi-platform would be a future goal.
    Currently this project is a two men project and it is just impossible to “implement new features and improving the app” AND “spending months in writing several backends to support more platforms”.

    Another reason that comes to my mind is that there are already a lot screenshot taking applications for windows (freeware and professional software). I am unsure if the huge amount of work would be worth it.
    The fact that there was no dedicated screenshot application for Linux was one of the main reasons for starting Shutter and I am still convinced that it is useful for a lot of people who need some more features than offered by standard tools.

    Nevertheless, this is an open-source project and anyone could start a port of Shutter at any time…to any platforms possible. I am always willing to assist where I can.

    hi there,
    I would also like to see this ported to windows xp. I have heard and seen posts that having a project on multiple platforms is good for the life for the project. Quite a few of fsf (www.fsf.org) projects also run on Windows platforms. I had few links where you could get some ideas at making the code multi-platformic but its escaping me now. Something to get you looking at atleast.

    http://wiki.pmease.com/display/qb2/Build+Multi-platform+Projects

    it would be nice to get feedback on the same.
