Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

I didn't find a special version. I can install the deb file - but it doesn't work. Is it dependencies? I've been told how to find them - but it's in my texts... in CherryTree. All my texts are in it; so I'm stuck.
(edit:)To install CherryTree - in Terminal:

pkg repo-update
pkg add-repo ppa:giuspen/ppa
pkg repo focal-giuspen
pkg add cherrytree
pkg add libgtksourceview-3.0-1_3.24.11-2
pkg add libvte-2.91

@MrAccident I will look into getting Cherrytree running. I know @wiak is a user of Cherrytree and recommends it and we have it running on other OS's and on some of those is a stock offering.

UPDATE: I have it running on F96-CE_4. Installed with pkg and the PPM. (I will add the instructions to use only pkg)

@MrAccident

Cherrytree installation instructions In a terminal:

pkg repo-update
pkg add-repo ppa:giuspen/ppa
pkg repo focal-giuspen
pkg add cherrytree
pkg add libgtksourceview-3.0-1_3.24.11-2

Then using the menu : Menu->Utility->Cherrytree or in a terminal: cherrytree

@rockedge - It didn't work. Maybe it's because I tried before that - to install Grey's version, which didn't work.
Here's the Terminal for installation:

And trying to open CherryTree through Terminal - it says this: # cherrytree
cherrytree: error while loading shared libraries: libvte-2.91.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

@MrAccident

You can try this first:

pkg add libvte-2.91

Then try to start cherrytree.

Otherwise you will need to uninstall the previous CherryTree from Grey. Then run the pkg commands which should grab the needed
dependencies while pkg installs cherrytree. The commands can be run on a partial installation of cherrytree.

Remove all traces of cherrytree before installing again. Then run the commands I listed.

@rockedge - now it says: # cherrytree
cherrytree: error while loading shared libraries: libgtksourceview-3.0.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I tried to add it, don't know if correctly; here's the Terminal: # pkg add libgtksourceview-3.0.so.1
Cannot find libgtksourceview-3.0.so.1..

@MrAccident you are close now!

There is a typo in your command that you used. Try:

pkg add libgtksourceview-3.0-1_3.24.11-2

It works!
I've updated my post to include the instructions.
So why do you think it didn't install libgtksourceview-3.0-1_3.24.11-2? Was I suppose to initiate all the Terminal instructions at once, like I did?

FYI-There is an AppImage available for CherryTree.: https://www.appimagehub.com/p/2046362

@tosim - d'oh! Didn't even notice.
But there is the question - which is better in terms of updating to the next version, and keeping the settings?

@rockedge - forgot to ask ― how to move it from Utility to Document? Also I think it needs to be there by default.

@MrAccident Open /usr/share/applications/cherrytree.desktop and change the line from:

Categories=GNOME;GTK;Utility;

to:

Categories=GNOME;GTK;TextEditor;

@rockedge - did it, and it didn't work. It remained in Utility.

@MrAccident probably a simple fix:

Menu->Fixmenus

and it should be OKAY.

Anytime you have made a change to any .desktop file or added one in run the Fixmenus script from the Menu.

@rockedge - yeah, fixed it.
Thanks.

I have tested the portable app version and it works nicely as well.

@MrAccident Eventually Cherrytree can be updated using this method in a terminal:

pkg repo-update
pkg repo focal-giuspen
pkg update cherrytree

@rockedge:
What do you mean by "Portable"? I could only find a version for Windows, on their website.
Which versions will this update?: Deb, Portable, AppImage?

@MrAccident I am talking about the AppImage version. I did not test to see if it updates.

The instructions I posted are for the .deb package version installed using pkg

@rockedge - thanks.
