Hello Linux Geeksters. As you may know, CherryTree is a text editor, with the features of a modern editor, such as syntax highlighting, spell check, export to html, password protection, and many others. The latest version available is CherryTree 0.35.6, which has been released recently, coming with changes:
- the middle (or wheel) click on a link to file or folder opens the parent directory of the target file or folder
- added tree right click menu item to bookmark the selected node
- bugfix in reading a cherrytree XML document
- bugfix in relative links click
- bugfix in import from treepad lite
- updated French language from new maintainer Klaus Becker
In this article I will show you how to install CherryTree 0.35.6 on Ubuntu 15.04 Vivid Vervet, Ubuntu 14.10 Utopic Unicorn, Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr, Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin, Linux Mint 17.1 Rebecca, Linux Mint 17 Qiana, Linux Mint 13 Maya, Pinguy OS 14.04, Deepin 2014, Elementary OS 0.3 Freya, Peppermint Five, LXLE 14.04, Linux Lite 2.0, Debian Jessie, Debian Wheezy and other Ubuntu and Debian derivative systems.
For Ubuntu and derivative systems, CherryTree 0.35.6 is available via PPA, so installing it is easy. All you have to do is add the ppa to your system, update the local repository index and install the cherrytree package. Like this:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:vincent-c/cherrytree
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install cherrytree
To install CherryTree 0.35.6 on Debian and derivative systems, we have to download the deb package from the project’s website and install it. I prefer gdebi over dpkg, due to the fact that it also handles dependencies:
$ sudo apt-get install gdebi
$ wget giuspen.com/software/cherrytree_0.35.6-1_all.deb
$ sudo gdebi cherrytree_0.35.6-1_all.deb
Optional, to remove CherryTree from either Ubuntu, Debian or a derivative system, do:
$ sudo apt-get remove cherrytree
