Currently, there is no official Debian or Ubuntu package for Paperwork.
Therefore on Debian or Ubuntu it is recommended to use the Flatpak package instead of the following instructions.
The following instructions describe how to install Paperwork the Python way.
$ sudo apt install python3-pip python3-setuptools
$ sudo apt install python3-dev python3-pil
# PyEnchant dependency
$ sudo apt install libenchant-dev
# Not a build dependency, but recommended anyway
$ sudo apt install python3-whoosh
(this is the recommended method by default)
You can then install paperwork using pip:
$ sudo pip3 install paperwork
Some dependencies cannot be installed automatically, because they depend on your language. You can find all the required dependencies not yet installed by running 'paperwork-chkdeps'
$ paperwork-shell chkdeps paperwork_backend
$ paperwork-shell chkdeps paperwork
Since Paperwork 1.2, you can add a Paperwork shortcut in your desktop menus with the following command:
$ paperwork-shell install
If you're reluctant to install system wide python libraries through pip, you can also use debian packages generated on the fly by python-stdeb
However, Debian doesn't provide yet the command pypi-install for Python 3.
Therefore it has first to be installed .. manually.
$ sudo apt install python3-all-dev python3-pip
$ sudo apt install python3-{pyocr,enchant,levenshtein,natsort,pycountry,termcolor}
$ sudo pip3 install stdeb
Then you can generate and install the packages for Paperwork libraires:
$ sudo /usr/local/bin/pypi-install --release 1.3.7 nose
$ sudo /usr/local/bin/pypi-install pyinsane2
$ sudo /usr/local/bin/pypi-install pypillowfight
$ sudo /usr/local/bin/pypi-install simplebayes
And then you can generate and install the packages for Paperwork itself:
$ sudo /usr/local/bin/pypi-install paperwork-backend
$ sudo /usr/local/bin/pypi-install paperwork
Finally, you have to run the following commands to check some extra dependencies:
$ paperwork-shell chkdeps paperwork_backend
$ paperwork-shell chkdeps paperwork
And the menu entry:
$ paperwork-shell install
If you used "paperwork-shell install", a shortcut should be available in the menus of your window manager (you may have to log out first).
You can also start Paperwork by running the command 'paperwork'.
Enjoy :-)
