In this tutorial, we will learn how to install FlashPaper which is a tool for converting any printable document to an interactive, animated Flash file. FlashPaper is available on GitHub, and we will show you how to install it on Void Linux.
Before we begin, you need to ensure that you have the following:
Before installing FlashPaper, we need to make sure that all required dependencies are installed. To install dependencies on Void Linux, use the following command:
sudo xbps-install -S git curl make gcc
The next step is to clone the FlashPaper repository from GitHub. To do this, run the following command in your terminal:
git clone https://github.com/AndrewPaglusch/FlashPaper.git
FlashPaper requires some additional fonts to function correctly. To install these fonts on Void Linux, use the following command:
sudo xbps-install -S ttf-dejavu ttf-liberation
Now that we have all the required dependencies, fonts, and the FlashPaper repository, we can proceed to the installation process. Change your directory to the FlashPaper directory using the command:
cd FlashPaper
Run the install script to begin the installation process by running the following command:
sudo ./install
The installation process will take a few minutes, and you might be prompted for your administrator password.
Once the installation is complete, you can verify it by testing the FlashPaper installation by running the following command:
flashpaper --help
If the installation is successful, you should receive a list of FlashPaper commands.
This tutorial has shown you how to install FlashPaper on Void Linux using GitHub. Now you can start using FlashPaper to convert your printable documents into interactive and animated Flash files.
