According to the manual page of the tool, shutter is a Feature-rich Screenshot Tool. Shutter is a useful tool to capture certain part of the current running GUI such as a desktop layout or a window. Furthermore, in the description of shutter in its manual page, Shutter is a feature-rich screenshot program. It can take a screenshot of a specific area, window, your whole screen, or even of a website - apply different effects to it, draw on it to highlight points, and then upload to an image hosting site, all within one window.
This tool can be an alternative for any other screenshot tools available. Namely the other tools are screenshot, flameshot, spectacle, kazam, import, etc. Below is the step for installing shutter in Linux Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beaver :
1. First of all, search the package. The following command is useful for searching the package with a certain name :
user@hostname:~# apt search shutter Sorting... Done Full Text Search... Done entangle/bionic 0.7.2-1ubuntu1 amd64 Tethered Camera Control & Capture jhead/bionic 1:3.00-6 amd64 manipulate the non-image part of Exif compliant JPEG files minetest-mod-homedecor/bionic,bionic 20170925.3-1 all Minetest mod pack providing home decor elements shutter/bionic,bionic 0.94-1 all feature-rich screenshot program
Since the package name is ‘shutter’, the parameter for the searching command obviously is ‘shutter’.
- Check if shutter is already exist in the operating system. The following is how to list the installed package in the operating system :
user@hostname:~# apt list --installed | grep shutter WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts. user@hostname:~#
The output of the above command is clear. There is no installed package or tool with the name of ‘shutter’ available.
