Buku is a command-line bookmark management tool that allows you to store, organize, and search your bookmarks. This tutorial will walk you through the steps of installing Buku on Linux Mint.
Before installing any software on your Linux Mint system, it is recommended that you update the existing packages. Open a terminal window and enter the following command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
This command will update the package index and upgrade any outdated packages.
Buku requires some dependencies to be installed on your system, specifically Python 3 and pip. You can install these dependencies using the following command:
sudo apt install python3 python3-pip
The next step is to clone Buku's Git repository from GitHub. Open a terminal window and run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/jarun/Buku.git
This will download the Buku repository to your current directory.
Now that you have cloned the Buku repository, navigate into the newly created directory using the following command:
cd Buku
Once inside the Buku directory, you can install Buku using pip3 as follows:
sudo pip3 install -e .
The -e option installs Buku in editable mode.
After installing Buku, you can verify that it is working correctly by running the following command:
buku --help
This command will display a list of available options and commands for Buku.
In this tutorial, we have walked through the steps of installing Buku on a Linux Mint system. With Buku installed, you can easily manage your bookmarks from the command-line interface.
