Fenrus is a powerful open-source file renamer for Linux. It allows you to easily rename large batches of files based on customizable rules. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Fenrus on the latest version of Linux Mint.
Before you start, please make sure you have the following:
Fenrus is built using Python and is available on GitHub. So, the first thing you need to do is install Python3 and Git on your system. To do this, open a terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt-get install python3 git
The next step is to clone the Fenrus repository from GitHub. To do this, navigate to your preferred directory and run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/revenz/fenrus.git
This will create a new directory called 'fenrus' that contains all the necessary files.
Fenrus relies on several external libraries, which you will need to install before you can run it. To install these dependencies, navigate to the 'fenrus' directory and run the following command:
cd fenrus
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
This will install all the necessary dependencies for running Fenrus.
Now that you have installed all the dependencies, you can run Fenrus by typing the following command:
python3 fenrus.py
This will launch Fenrus in your terminal, and you can start using it to rename your files.
That’s it! You have successfully installed Fenrus on the latest version of Linux Mint. Now you can easily rename large batches of files based on customizable rules. I hope this tutorial was helpful, and if you have any questions or suggestions, please leave them in the comments below.
