====== NixNote, an Open Source Clone of Evernote ====== Evernote doesn't provide a Linux version of their desktop application. Although they provide an API that [[http://sourceforge.net/projects/nevernote/|NixNote]] uses to offer a Linux compatible GUI. <WRAP center round tip 100%> In case you're in a hurry, or do not know how to follow the steps that are described here after, you can [[|download the nixnote2-2.0-beta3-b_amd64.deb]] package file that is compatible with Debian Jessie. </WRAP> ==== Install NixNote on LMDE 2 (Debian Jessie) ==== As of the time of this writing, even the latest version of NixNote (2-2.0-beta3), fails to install on Debian Jessie (LMDE 2), complaining about not satisfiable dependencies!\\ Although it is very well possible to have this version run under Jessie, here is how to achieve this: First off, you should get the latest version of NixNote (this is nixnote2-2.0-beta3_amd64 ). You can indifferently download the .tar.gz or .deb version as we will decompress it anyway... You'll find those on the **[[http://sourceforge.net/projects/nevernote/files/NixNote2%20-%20Beta%203/|NixNote > files > NixNote2 - Beta 3 page at SourceForge]]**. Once the download is done, right click the downloaded file (.deb or .tar.gz) and select "Extract Here". A **nixnote2-2.0-beta3_amd64** directory will be created next to the downloaded file. Let's **rename it //nixnote2-2.0-beta3-b_amd64//** to avoid confusions. Inside this directory, locate the following file: //**DEBIAN/control**//, and double-click it to edit its content. Make the following changes: Line 2:\\ Version: 2.0-beta3-b Line 7:\\ Locate: //**libpoppler44**//; and modify to: //**libpoppler44 | libpoppler46**//\\ Locate: //**libavcodec54**//; and modify to: //**libavcodec54 | libavcodec56**//\\ Locate: //**libavcodec-extra-54**//; and modify to: //**libavcodec-extra-54 | libavcodec-extra-56**//\\ Locate: //**libavformat54**//; and modify to: //**libavformat54 | libavformat56**//\\ Locate: //**libswscale2**//; and modify to //**libswscale2 | libswscale3**// Save the modified **DEBIAN/control** file. Now open a terminal and go to the directory containing your modified **nixnote2-2.0-beta3-b_amd64** directory (we assume it is in our "Downloads" folder here), then use //**dpkg-deb**// to prepare a new .deb package that will be functional under Jessie: <code> > cd /home/<user>/Downloads > dpkg-deb -b nixnote2-2.0-beta3-b_amd64 dpkg-deb: building package `nixnote2' in `nixnote2-2.0-beta3-b_amd64.deb'. </code> All there is left to do is double-click the generated //**nixnote2-2.0-beta3-b_amd64.deb**// file, and click the "install" button! You'll find **"NixNote2"** under //**Menu > Applications > Internet > NixNote2**//, enjoy!
