You can take screenshots with it and you can also edit screenshots or other images with it. It’s a nifty tool for adding arrows and text on the images. You can also use it to [resize images in Ubuntu][2] or whichever Linux distribution you are using. Most of the screenshot tutorials on It’s FOSS have been edited on Shutter. + +![][3] + +Though [Shutter][4] has been a great tool so far, its development is stalled. There has been no new release of Shutter in several years. Even simple bugs like [editing mode being disabled in Shutter][5] hasn’t been fixed. There is no news from the developer at all. + +Perhaps this is the reason why newer release of Ubuntu have dropped it. Until Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, you could install it from the software or [using apt-get command][6] by [enabling the universe repository][7]. But from Ubuntu 18.10 and later releases, you cannot do it anymore. + +All the shortcomings aside, Shutter is till a great tool and I want to continue using it. Perhaps you too are a Shutter fan like me and want to use it. The good things is that you can still install Shutter in Ubuntu 19.04 thanks to an unofficial PPA. + +### Installing Shutter on Ubuntu 19.04 + +![Install Shutter Ubuntu][8] + +I hope you are familiar with concept of PPA. If not, I highly recommend reading my detailed guide to know more about [what is PPA and how to use it][9]. + +Now, open a terminal and use the following command to add the new repository: + +``` +sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:linuxuprising/shutter +``` + +No need to use apt update anymore because starting Ubuntu 18.04, the repositories are automatically updated after adding a new entry. + +Now use the apt command to install Shutter: + +``` +sudo apt install shutter +``` + +That’s it. You should have Shutter screenshot tool installed. You can search for it in the menu and start from there. + +[][10] + +Suggested read  Managing Linux Kernel Upgrades In Debian + +### Removing Shutter installed via the unofficial PPA + +I’ll complete this tutorial by adding the steps to uninstall Shutter and remove the repository you added. + +First, remove Shutter from your system: + +``` +sudo apt remove shutter +``` + +Next, remove the PPA from your list of repositories: + +``` +sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:linuxuprising/shutter +``` + +You may also want to take a look at [Y PPA Manager][11], a tool for managing PPA graphically. + +Shutter + +Shutter is an excellent tool and I would prefer that it is actively developed. I hope that its developer is alright and he/she can find some time to work on it. Or perhaps it’s time for someone else to fork it and continue to make it more awesome. + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +via: https://itsfoss.com/install-shutter-ubuntu/ + +作者:[Abhishek Prakash][a] +选题:[lujun9972][b] +译者:[译者ID](https://github.com/译者ID) +校对:[校对者ID](https://github.com/校对者ID) + +本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创编译,[Linux中国](https://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 + +[a]: https://itsfoss.com/author/abhishek/ +[b]: https://github.com/lujun9972 +[1]: https://itsfoss.com/take-screenshot-linux/ +[2]: https://itsfoss.com/resize-images-with-right-click/ +[3]: https://i0.wp.com/itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/shutter-screenshot.jpg?ssl=1 +[4]: http://shutter-project.org/ +[5]: https://itsfoss.com/shutter-edit-button-disabled/ +[6]: https://itsfoss.com/apt-get-linux-guide/ +[7]: https://itsfoss.com/ubuntu-repositories/ +[8]: https://i0.wp.com/itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Install-Shutter-ubuntu.jpg?resize=800%2C450&ssl=1 +[9]: https://itsfoss.com/ppa-guide/ +[10]: https://itsfoss.com/kernel-upgrade-debian/ +[11]: https://itsfoss.com/y-ppa-manager/
