KB0034: How do I install Jutoh on Linux?

See also the FAQ on the Jutoh web site for more detail about installing on specific Linux distributions.

Jutoh supports three distribution methods for Linux:

Each of these methods will install suitable desktop entries and MIME types, adding a menu entry to the KDE or GNOME menu in the Office or Word Processor group. Jutoh will also be available by typing jutoh in a terminal window. The application is normally installed to /usr/share/jutoh, and the 'jutoh' startup script to /usr/bin.

Debian packages

To install a .deb, you may be able to simply double-click it in the file manager. If this doesn't work, you can use the dpkg command-line tool. Type something like the following in a terminal window:

dpkg -i jutoh_1.00-1_i386.deb

You need to have root permissions to do this, so either type su followed by the root password, or prefix the command with sudo and type your own password when prompted.

To remove the package, use:

dpkg -r jutoh

RPM packages

To install an RPM package, you may be able to simply double-click it in the file manager. If this doesn't work, you can use the rpm command-line tool. Type something like the following in a terminal window:

rpm -i jutoh-1.00-1.i386.rpm

You need to have root permissions to do this, so either type su followed by the root password, or prefix the command with sudo and type your own password when prompted.

To upgrade the package (if an existing one is already installed), use -U instead of -i.

To remove the package, use:

rpm -e jutoh

Tarballs

The tarball method is the only one currently supported on FreeBSD. With this method, you run a script in a terminal and you will be prompted to install either system-wide or locally. If installing system-wide, you may wish to login as super user (type su) or run the script with sudo, for example sudo ./installjutoh.

First, unarchive Jutoh-x.yz.tar.gz to a suitable location in your filesystem. This will create two files, JutohData.tar.gz and installjutoh. Run installjutoh and follow the instructions: it will install Jutoh in one directory, and a script 'jutoh' in another, so you can invoke Jutoh without having to set the JUTOHDIR environment variable. The script will install the appropriate MIME types and desktop entries, and if installed locally, will also add a Jutoh icon to your desktop.

With the tarball method, you can uninstall by running the uninstalljutoh-x.yz script generated by the installation process.
