Installing PaperCut on Linux

Prerequisites: Java. The attached file does not include a copy of Java, which is normally installed in Linux distributions.

Installation instructions: Decompress the downloaded archive, enter the "papercut-linux/" folder and execute the "install-pc-client.sh" script with root permissions, for example:

unzip papercut-linux.zip
cd papercut-linux
sudo ./install-pc-client.sh

PLEASE NOTE: Due to the different versions of Linux available and the various window managers, the installation script makes a "best effort" attempt to ensure that the PaperCut client auto-starts at user login (technically, a file is added to the /etc/xdg/autostart folder). The most common window managers (Gnome, XFCE, and KDE) honor this convention and launch the programs linked within it. If the client doesn't start automatically, you can do it yourself by running the command:

/usr/local/pc-client/pc-client-linux.sh &

If the process doesn't succeed, open a ticket with the helpdesk in the IT services section: http://helpdesk.dei.unipd.it.
