The linux installation depends on the distro you are using.
|
|
Espanso has been tested in the following distros, but you shouldn't
|
|
have many problems making it work on others.
|
|
|
|
* [Ubuntu/Debian](#installing-on-ubuntu--debian)
|
|
* [Manjaro/Arch](#installing-on-manjaro--arch)
|
|
|
|
### Installing on Ubuntu / Debian
|
|
|
|
Espanso depends upon the `X11 Record Extension`, the `xdo library` and the `xclip` command,
|
|
so you will need to install those first with the following commands:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo apt update
|
|
sudo apt install libxtst6 libxdo3 xclip
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can now download the latest espanso release:
|
|
```
|
|
curl -L https://github.com/federico-terzi/espanso/releases/latest/download/espanso-linux.tar.gz | tar -xz -C /tmp/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And then move it to the `/usr/local/bin/` directory
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo mv /tmp/espanso /usr/local/bin/espanso
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You should now have espanso installed in your system. To start it, type the following command:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
espanso start
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you now type `:espanso` in any text field, you should see "Hi there!" appear!
|
|
|
|

|
|
