installing clipgrab update

Question

ClipGrab released an update, which I am unable to update, I've downloaded the package but it's not deb and I'm having issues after extracting the file, not sure how to install it! has anyone successfully updated Clipgrab 3.1.0.2 using the source code? I'm so confused!

ricochet@ricochet-Satellite-L305:~$ cd ~/Downloads ricochet@ricochet-Satellite-L305:~/Downloads$ chmod +x clipgrab-3.1.0.2-1 chmod: cannot access clipgrab-3.1.0.2-1': No such file or directory ricochet@ricochet-Satellite-L305:~/Downloads$

Answer 1

I'm assuming you downloaded the package from this website? Make sure you download the package clipgrab-3.1.0.2.bz2 - you can find this under the option "Show All Available Options"

It should open in Archive Manager. Extract it to your Downloads folder.

Then in a terminal:

cd ~/Downloads
chmod +x clipgrab-3.1.0.2

Then you can start it:

./clipgrab-3.1.0.2

...

or you could just add the current clipgrab PPA

and install via

sudo apt-get install clipgrab

If you have the PPA already installed, then run the Update Manager to get the latest version.

As an aside - remember, sometimes you may have to wait a few days for the maintainers of the PPA to update with the latest version.
