Qpixel is a pixel art creation tool developed by Codidact. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing qpixel on Clear Linux Latest. The installation process requires a few steps, but they are relatively straightforward.
Before we begin, ensure that your system meets the following requirements:
The first step is to ensure that the package manager is up-to-date. Open a terminal window and execute the following command.
sudo swupd update
This command updates the system with the latest package definitions and security updates.
As qpixel is developed using .NET, we need to install the .NET runtime on our system. To do this, run the following command:
sudo swupd bundle-add dotnet-runtime
This command installs the latest .NET runtime on your system.
The next step is to download the qpixel package from the Codidact repository. This can be done using the following command:
wget https://github.com/codidact/qpixel/releases/download/v0.3.0/qpixel-v0.3.0.zip
This command downloads the qpixel package to your system.
Once the qpixel package has been downloaded, we need to extract its contents. The following command extracts the package to the current directory:
unzip qpixel-v0.3.0.zip
This command extracts the qpixel files to the current directory.
Finally, we can run qpixel by navigating to the extracted qpixel directory and executing the following command:
dotnet Codidact.QPixel.dll
This command starts qpixel.
In this tutorial, we have installed qpixel on Clear Linux Latest. With qpixel up and running, you can start creating pixel art right away!
