Installation on Linux

The easy portable way

AppImage packages are available on the releases page. The AppImage will run once you make it executable.

The recommended way

This will allow Superpaper to integrate the best with your system theme and icons.
See the screenshot in the Readme taken on Manjaro KDE.

Step 1: Install pipx and wxPython 4.X:

Because of the differences between Linux distributions, the installation options differ:

  • Arch / Manjaro: sudo pacman -S python-pipx python-wxpython
  • Debian / Ubuntu and relatives: sudo apt install pipx wxpython-tools
  • Fedora : sudo dnf install pipx python3-wxpython4
  • Older distros with no wxPython4 package: wxpython.org
    • Install the wheel if available for your OS: CentOS, Debian, Fedora and Ubuntu

Using pipx simplifies management of the virtual environment in which Superpaper is installed, but is not a hard requirement. You may use a manually created venv.

Step 2: Install superpaper from PyPI

Superpaper is available from PyPI, and needs Python 3.6+. To install, run in a terminal:

pipx install --system-site-packages superpaper

On some Linux setups, you might need to log out and in, or restart to get the menu/launcher entry to show up.

Snaps

Snaps are currently not packaged, however for reference: To install the Snap (if available) you need to install it from the downloaded file with:

sudo snap install superpaper_1.2.0_amd64_experimental_classic.snap --classic --dangerous
