![]() because of the trial and error process of installing random libraries that collide with larger dependencies: just reinstall your full OS later with your precious list of package name that finally worked. So, you'll try: lib_pck5, packg5, five_libs-package, libP5.0.0.04 until the cmake doesn't complain anymore. Then you use your package manager to install anything related to PACKAGE5 because of course the name will differ (packagers love to get their own name for things). That sounds complex at first, but it is not: it's just very long to do. Now and according to the dev you need "to read and understand the cmake output instead". Not so long ago, the community around Krita had a place to share installation instruction for dependencies (the KDE Community Wiki) :, but it was cleared recently. Krita needs a large amount of very fresh libraries and you'll need a GNU/Linux distribution with fresh packages for that CentOS, Debian Stable, Linux Mint, Elementary or Ubuntu L.T.S are often too outdated to build Krita. This part can be tricky : each distribution got a different way to manage packages and so installing required libraries. Git pull Get the libraries and dependencies So we enter the Krita source folder, then check if everything is updated : cd src Then ask git to download the source files in your src folder, pasting this line code in the Terminal, on the ~/krita directory : git clone src Install git from your distribution package-manager ( eg. Navigate your folder using the command cd ( change directories ) and the tab key for auto-completion. Use the search field of your package manager and remove packages. To do it, open a Terminal, copy the line under (Ctrl+C) then paste it on the Terminal (Ctrl+Shift+V ) : mkdir -p ~/krita/src ~/krita/build ~/krita/instĪlso check with your distribution package-manager that no calligra and krita packages are installed. Note : understand as your user name on this documentation ( Ex : /home/deevad/krita/src ) /home/ /krita/inst where Krita will be installed./home/ /krita/build where Krita will be built.We will set the structure advised by developers : Around 5GB of disk space will be needed on your home folder. =^.^=įirst obligatory step : preparing the place. I hope those pictures will also help other project's documentation to be more user friendly and appear more simple to understand by using a simple analogy : a cat building a house.īecause it's well known on the Internet : you can't go wrong with cats. I also decided to illustrate the article with funny pictures (all licensed under CC-By). Artists should be able to install, update, go back in the history of code if something doesn’t work for them. So I had to find a solution and I thought the best approach was "the Arch-way": not providing any automatic tool, but a badass and dead-easy documentation to make artist independent in the full process and understand what they do. ![]() But this script was useful for many artist who wanted to beta-test Krita. ![]() I decided to discontinue it because the script was always breaking. I wrote this guide after maintaining during a full-year a set of scripts to help user to compile and install Krita.
