This was a challenge!
Download the compressed tar file from this website
Extract the downloaded file into a sub-folder in you Downloads folder called sheetmaker.
cd ~/Downloads/sheetmaker
Now install the following perl modules:
sudo apt-get install build-essential libgtk2-perl libimdb-film-perl libxml-bare-perl perlmagick libfile-finder-perl libimage-exiftool-perl libxml-tokeparser-perl libxml-treepp-perl
Run a test to check that all perl modules have been installed
perl ModuleTest.pl
It should say one more module "XML::RPC" needs to be installed. If there are any more modules to be installed - look for them in synaptic manager.
The last module "XML::RPC" isnt available in Ubuntu. N.B. there is a similar named package libxml-rpc-perl
but this is the "RPC::XML" library.
Run the following:
sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install XML::RPC'
Press enter for ALL questions asked -
If the final question asked is to 'enter the URL of the CPAN mirror' then enter the value http://www.cpan.org
Re-run
perl ModuleTest.pl
It should now just say that mediainfo needs to be installed. You install this by:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:shiki/mediainfo
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mediainfo
now check that starting the application works -
perl SheetMaker.pl
Note - it might complain of missing templates - these can be downloaded from the website you linked to.
Finally - finish off by creating a desktop launcher
create a text file call sheetlaunch.sh
with the following contents:
cd /home/homefolder/Downloads/sheetmaker
perl SheetMaker.pl
change the permissions so that is launches
chmod +x sheetlaunch.sh
now right click the desktop and create a launcher with the command line
/home/homefolder/Downloads/sheetmaker/sheetlaunch.sh
Click on the default icon and navigate to the sheetmaker folder to use the correct icon.
N.B. change homefolder
for your home folder name
if you now move the launcher to the folder .local/share/applications
then nattys' Dash will pick it up in its search.
