Hello Linux Geeksters. As you may know, Fotoxx is an open source photo editing program, working on Linux. It has support for the most important image formats, including JPEG, BMP, PNG, TIFF and RAW. Fotoxx is mostly used for cropping, resizing or retouching photos, without using layers, like Photoshop.
The latest version available is Fotoxx 14.11, which has been released a while ago, coming with italian translations.
In this article I will show you how to install Fotoxx 14.11 on Ubuntu 14.10 Utopic Unicorn, Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr, Linux Mint 17.1 Rebecca, Linux Mint 17 Qiana, Pinguy OS 14.04, Elementary OS 0.3 Freya, Deepin 2014, Peppermint Five, LXLE 14.04, Linux Lite 2.0, Debian Jessie and other Ubuntu and Debian derivative systems.
For Ubuntu 14.10, Ubuntu 14.04 and derivative systems, fotoxx 14.11 is available via some third party 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 fotoxx package. Like this:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:dhor/myway
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install fotoxx
For Debian Jessie, fotoxx 14.11 is available as deb package on the project’s website, so installing it is easy. Just download the package and install it via command-line. I prefer gdebi (not available by default) over dpkg, due to the fact that it also handles dependencies.
Follow the instructions for your system’s architecture exactly, in order to get a successful installation.
