How to install Jahshaka?

I found that there is an application called Jahshaka which is used to edit videos. I want to install it in my Ubuntu. How to install it? I can't find it in Software center

Solution 1:

Download Jahshaka here and put the file in a folder of your choice, e.g. ~/MyApps

Then follow these steps:

cd ~/MyApps
mv Jahshaka\ 2.0 jahshaka_2-0
chmod +x jahshaka_2-0

It may be that you still need the following libraries:

sudo apt-get install libfuse2:i386
sudo apt-get install libxmu6:i386
sudo apt-get install libxft2:i386

The start Jahshaka with:

~/MyApps/jahshaka_2-0

For a better integration with your desktop, you can create a .desktop file:

gedit ~/.local/share/applications/jahshaka.desktop

and paste these lines:

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Jahshaka
Comment=video and film compositing, editing and special fx system
Icon=/path/to/image
Exec=/home/<your_username>/MyApps/jahshaka_2-0
Terminal=false
Categories=Video;
StartupWMClass=Jahshaka

Then save and exit...
