Photoview is an open-source photo viewer and organizer designed for photographers. It supports a variety of image formats and provides powerful search and filter functionalities. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Photoview on Manjaro.
Before installing Photoview, make sure your Manjaro system is up-to-date by running the following command in the terminal:
sudo pacman -Syyu
Photoview depends on several system libraries and tools. To install these dependencies, run the following command:
sudo pacman -S webkit2gtk gtk3
Git is required to download the latest version of Photoview from Github. To install Git, run the following command:
sudo pacman -S git
To clone the Photoview repository, run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/photoview/photoview.git
This will create a new directory named "photoview" in your current working directory. Change into this directory by running:
cd photoview
To build and install Photoview, run the following commands:
cargo build --release
sudo cp target/release/photoview /usr/bin/
This will compile the source code and create an executable binary file named "photoview" in the "target/release" directory. The second command copies this binary file to the "/usr/bin" directory, which allows you to launch Photoview from anywhere in the terminal.
To launch Photoview, simply run the following command:
photoview
This will open the Photoview window, and you can start browsing your photos.
That's it! You have successfully installed Photoview on your Manjaro system. You can now organize and browse your photos using Photoview's intuitive interface. If you encounter any issues or have questions, please refer to the Photoview documentation available on their Github page.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
