====== NixNote on Debian Jessie (LMDE 2) ====== Evernote doesn't provide a Linux version of their desktop application. Although they provide an API that [[http://sourceforge.net/projects/nevernote/|NixNote]] (formerly Nevernote) uses to offer a Linux compatible GUI. 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!\\ Nevertheless, it is very well possible to have this version run under Jessie, here is how to achieve this. <WRAP center round tip 100%> In case you're in a hurry, or are not interested in following the steps that are described here after, you can **{{:applications:office:nixnote:nixnote2-2.0-beta3-b_amd64.deb|download the nixnote2-2.0-beta3-b_amd64.deb}}** package file that is compatible with Debian Jessie. Once downloaded, double-click the .deb file and install on your system, You'll find “NixNote2” under **Menu > Applications > Internet > NixNote2**, enjoy! </WRAP> ==== Modify .deb File to Install NixNote on LMDE 2 (Debian Jessie) ==== First off, you should get the latest version of NixNote (this is nixnote2-2.0-beta3_amd64 ). Download the .deb version that we will decompress... You'll find it 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 .deb file 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! NOTE: might be interesting to have a look at https://github.com/nvbn/everpad/
