Install this? #15

Closed Junior1544 closed 4 years ago

Junior1544 commented 8 years ago

I am brand new to Raspberry Pi and linux all together...

Can i get some better installation instructions?

You make the assumption that we all know how to clone a git onto the raspberry pi but I am still very much a newbie and can't figure that part out...

Also, for the other tool you say is needed, i tried to apt-get it as you did put, but it tells me that it's already there but needs to be manually installed? Does this mean that this isn't needed any more, or that different instructions would be needed?

Thank you everyone for any help! (I think I'll go get a binky, i'm feeling like a baby to this stuff!)

for the reference:

$ sudo apt-get install libpng12-dev $ wget https://github.com/AndrewFromMelbourne/raspi2png/archive/master.zip $ unzip master.zip $ cd raspi2png-master $ make $ sudo cp raspi2png /usr/local/bin

/usr/local/bin is better location than /usr/bin because raspi2png is not managed by the distribution package manager.
