+ | <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! | ||
