<p>PdfBooklet is developed originally in Windows and for Windows.
|
|
Nevertheless it works perfectly on Linux, we have made the code
|
|
compatible. It runs in Python 2.7 or 3.4.</p>
|
|

|
|
<p><b>1) Installation</b></p>
|
|
<p>You sould normally use the <span style="font-weight: bold;">.deb file</span> which should work out of the box.<br>
|
|
The <span style="font-weight: bold;">.rpm</span> file is not yet tested, and the dependencies are not properly set. <br>
|
|
</p>

|
|
<p>In case these installers do not work for you, we are providing other solutions. </p>
|
|
<p style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 3pt; margin-left: 40px;"><b>a) Install from source</b></p>
|
|
<p style="margin-left: 40px;">Decompress the file : <i>Install by unzipping – linux.zip </i>in a directory where you have full write rights. Run pdfbooklet.py with the following command :</p>
|
|
<p style="margin-left: 40px;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> </span></p>
|
|
<p style="margin-left: 40px;"><span style="font-family: Courier New;">python pdfbooklet.py</span></p>
|
|
<p style="margin-left: 40px;">or<span style="font-family: Courier New;"> </span></p>
|
|
<p style="margin-left: 40px;"><span style="font-family: Courier New;">python3 pdfbooklet.py</span></p>
|
|
<p style="margin-left: 40px;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> </span></p>
|
|
<p style="margin-left: 40px;">If you have the dependencies satisfied, the program should run. If
|
|
not, either install the missing packages, if you know how to do that,
|
|
or use the second solution :</p>

|
<p style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 3pt; margin-left: 40px;"><b>b) Install the pyinstaller bundle</b></p>
|
|
<p style="margin-left: 40px;">To solve the dependencies problem, we have built a bundle with
|
|
pyinstaller, which contains everything needed : Python3, Gtk3, Poppler.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p style="margin-left: 40px;">Unzip the big file : pdfbooklet 3.x.x pyinstaller.zip, in a directory where you have write rights. </p>
|
|
<p style="margin-left: 40px;">Run the file : pdfbooklet</p>
|
|
<p style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 3pt; margin-left: 40px;"><b>c) Install from tarball</b></p>
|
|
<p style="margin-left: 40px;">We offer also the tarballs in 32 and 64 bits if you know how to install them. </p>
|
|

<p>pdfbooklet needs read/write rights in the forder where
|
|
pdfbooklet.cfg is located and the installer does not always provides
|
|
this. <span style="font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><b><i><br>
