[Bug]: Linux Installation

The Problem

I'm sorry, this isn't really a bug but I'm really struggling to install Stirling PDF. I'm not techy at all but have moved away from Windows and am trying to get my head around Linux.

I think I've tried everything, Docker, Dockge. I tried the Unix installation again and I keep getting stuck here, I faced the same issue on my first attempt at installing so don't know why it is giving this error message. Any help would be much appreciated. Will this auto run on every start up allowing me to just go into the browser and enter the localhost address or do I need to go into the terminal every time?

Will this version also auto update?

Any this, is the terminal history, any help much appreciated!

Hey @Splitpeach! 👋 I'm here to help you with any bugs, questions, or contributions you have for Stirling PDF. Let me know how I can assist you!

It seems you're encountering issues with the local installation of Stirling PDF on Linux. Here are some steps and suggestions to help you resolve the problems:

  1. Existing Directories: The error messages indicate that the directories ~/.git and Stirling-PDF already exist and are not empty. You can either remove these directories or use a different directory for cloning. To remove them, you can use:

    rm -rf ~/.git/jbig2enc
rm -rf ~/.git/Stirling-PDF

  2. Tesseract Package: The error "Unable to locate package tesseract" suggests that the package might not be available in your current repositories. You can try enabling the "universe" repository and then update your package list:

    sudo add-apt-repository universe
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install tesseract-ocr

  3. Auto-Start and Auto-Update: Stirling PDF does not automatically start on boot or auto-update by default. You can set up a systemd service to start it on boot. For auto-updates, you would need to manually pull updates from the repository and rebuild the project.

  4. Installation Steps: After resolving the directory issues, follow these steps to install Stirling PDF:

    cd ~
git clone https://github.com/Stirling-Tools/Stirling-PDF.git
cd Stirling-PDF
chmod +x ./gradlew
./gradlew build

  5. Running Stirling PDF: Once built, you can start Stirling PDF using:

    ./gradlew run

    This will need to be done each time you want to use the application unless you set up a service to manage it.

These steps should help you get Stirling PDF running on your Linux system. If you encounter further issues, ensure all dependencies are correctly installed and check for any additional error messages that might provide more context.

Ok, so I just attempted the steps from Dosu above and got the following:

I think docker/dockage version would be easiest to debug if you want to try go that route and show logs

I have tried to install it via docker and dockge so many times and no luck. I don't know how many Stirling files I have sitting around in my files....do I need to uninstall all of them first?

If I install with Docker would it auto-update?

Would be so great if you get create a flatpak on flathub so we could download and install it as an app with a GUI like anything else. In the meantime, could there perhaps be an instructional video for linux on the best way to install?

Its such an amazing tool, but unfortunately I am totally stuck as to how to install it for linux and can't use it! So I'm back to using around four different PDF apps to do everything Stirling could do for me!

I'm sorry, I'm clearly an idiot. But, please help. No matter what I try I just cannot install Stirling PDF. Can you make it Linux dummy proof? (Im using Linux Mint)

These are three different terminal histories. I don't understand what I am getting wrong at every attempt.

Hello from Docker! This message shows that your installation appears to be working correctly.

To generate this message, Docker took the following steps:

  1. The Docker client contacted the Docker daemon.
  2. The Docker daemon pulled the "hello-world" image from the Docker Hub. (amd64)
  3. The Docker daemon created a new container from that image which runs the executable that produces the output you are currently reading.
  4. The Docker daemon streamed that output to the Docker client, which sent it to your terminal.

To try something more ambitious, you can run an Ubuntu container with: $ docker run -it ubuntu bash
