Installing Endrov on Linux
From Endrov (EV) and VWB
First-time users of Endrov on Linux better install from the repository. This works on Ubuntu and Debian. Ubuntu is usually the best tested distribution, but since it lags behind Debian on many packages, Debian should work too.

Ubuntu / Debian
The following command adds Endrov's repository to Ubuntu/Debian. Packages are not signed as of writing.
Run in the Terminal (Applications → Accessories → Terminal):
sudo wget --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/endrov.list http://www.areta.org/~endrov/endrov.list && sudo apt-get --quiet update
or, if you prefer doing this by hand, inspect the file http://www.areta.org/~endrov/endrov.list for the content to add in /etc/apt/sources.list. Next, to actually install Endrov and all packages, type this:
sudo apt-get install endrov
or do it from (System → Administration → Synaptic Package Manager).
To add movie-making support on Linux, install the ffmpeg package with (System → Administration → Synaptic Package Manager).
Endrov can be started from (Applications → Graphics → Endrov).
Installing from source
Recommended if you intend to develop new plugins
1. First install the repository version - it will pull down all dependencies, some which are not in Ubuntu/Debian. Make sure it runs!
2. Follow the instructions to Setting up a development environment.
Endrov on generic Unix
This is not tested a lot. You can download the version with support for multiple operating systems and unzip it. You will have to install several dependencies manually.
Starting Endrov from the console
This is if you installed Endrov into one directory; either you downloaded the .zip or the source. Enter the base directory and type
java -jar startEndrov.jar
