Photoview is a simple and easy-to-use image viewer for the terminal with support for zooming and panning images. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Photoview on Kali Linux Latest.
Before installing Photoview, we need to make sure that our system has all the necessary dependencies installed. Run the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt-get install libcairo2-dev libexif-dev libpango1.0-dev libxcb-shm0-dev libxcb-xfixes0-dev libxcb-shape0-dev
This command will install the required dependencies.
Next, we need to download the Photoview source code from the official GitHub repository. Open the terminal and run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/photoview/photoview.git
This will download the Photoview source code to your current directory.
Once the source code is downloaded, we need to build and install Photoview. Navigate to the downloaded source code directory and run the following command:
make && sudo make install
This will build and install Photoview on your system.
To verify that Photoview is installed correctly, run the following command in the terminal:
photoview -v
This command will display the version of Photoview installed on your system.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Photoview on Kali Linux Latest. You can now use Photoview to view your images in the terminal.
