Notepadqq is a version of notepad++ adapted for Linux. I love notepad++ for its powerful features and also because it’s free. Notepadqq has a ppa configured for easy installation for Ubuntu users, but for everyone else they must resort to compiling it. Fortunately it’s not too complicated. Thanks to linuxbabe for the guidance.
For Debian 8 users this is what you have to do:
sudo apt-get install qt5-qmake libqt5webkit5 libqt5svg5 coreutils libqt5webkit5-dev libqt5svg5-dev qttools5-dev-tools git git clone https://github.com/notepadqq/notepadqq.git cd notepadqq ./configure make sudo make install
After a bit of time notepadqq will be compiled and installed. That’s it!
If you are running gnome-shell or a derivative (such as cinnamon) then you can get your newly installed program to show up in the menu by pressing alt+f2, hitting r, and then hitting enter. This causes the shell to reload so it will pick up your newly installed program.
Thank you very much! Following guide step-by-step and it worked like a charme.
I tried to install notepadqq from the Readme instructions, which are not much different, but I was stuck finding the right dependencies to make configuration.
A nooby debian user 😉
I’m glad this was helpful!
Thanks! It works!
I have a problem with installing libraries =( my debian said that he didn’t know libqt5svg5 and libqt5svg5-dev. So
when I try to do configure and make it got an error “svg libriries not found”.
Can i set up wrong repositories?
I have main and contrib repositories in my sources.list.
deb http://http.debian.net/debian jessie main
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib
deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ jessie-updates main
oh( I’m sorry! I put things in order in my sources.list and all works good! thank you very much)
Thanks.
This worked perfectly!
Hello,
I tried installing notepadqq, and it worked fine, but when i launch notepadqq, always the same error : “segmentation error”. Could someone help me with that please ? (just a beginner with debian)
Probably a bugged version of Notepadqq. Try a different version
In the example, not sure where one command stops and another begins. is this all one long command or several?
The wordpress theme makes it difficult to see. It’s 6 different commands. If you copy/paste the whole thing into a text editor you’ll see the different lines – each line is a different command.
Great post, very useful!
Saludos
worked perfectly on Debian 9 Strech
great contribution.
