Getting 4PaneThere are three ways to acquire 4Pane:
Getting a Binary Package Important information about the 4Pane signing key The original 4Pane signing key, created in 2008, was DSA, and some distros now treat such keys as untrusted. All current packages are signed with a new, more secure, key. So if you downloaded a 4Pane key before October 2016, you now need to download the new one. The updated 4Pane.asc file will work both for old and new packages. There are binary packages available for recent versions of most of the main distros. RpmsRecent versions of the main rpm-using distros have official 4Pane packages. However not all releases have the latest 4Pane version; I provide rpms for those.First tell rpm about the 4Pane public key. Get superuser privileges with su or sudo, then do: rpm --import https://www.4pane.co.uk/4Pane.asc
Or you can do the same thing in two steps: first download the key file with wget, then install it. wget https://www.4pane.co.uk/4Pane.asc
rpm --import ./4Pane.asc
Then download the appropriate rpm by clicking on its link, and follow the instructions in Installing:
Alternatively, if you've already installed the wxWidgets rpm, you should be able to download and install in one step. e.g. for openSUSE 15.4: rpm -Uvh https://www.4pane.co.uk/8.0/rpm/SuSE/x86_64/4pane-8.0-1.suse15.4.unofficial.x86_64.rpm
If you are using an older version of these distros, there may be a 7.0 build available: see the previous releases page. RepositoriesNB: 4Pane is now packaged by debian and ubuntu, and so can just be installed through apt in the usual way. However the current official packages for debian bullseye and ubuntus pre-23.04, are unlikely to be upgraded, so here are 8.0 ones for current releases.If you use a debian-based distro, there are the following repositories:
The ubuntu packages will also work on kubuntu/xubuntu/lubuntu etc and on standard mint.
These repositories still contain some 0.5.1 to 7.0 builds for no-longer-supported versions of the distros. Alternatively this link lets you access the 0.5.1 to 7.0 pages. They also provide debuginfo debs, and for ubuntu bionic and later there are dbgsym ddebs; however the latter may not be 'seen' by apt, so I've put their direct-download links below. You will need to tell apt about the 4Pane public key by doing, as superuser: apt-key adv --fetch-keys https://www.4pane.co.uk/4Pane.asc
Note that this now points to an updated key that works for all 4Pane repos. You don't need to remove any old key first, you can add the new one on top of it.
You can either use synaptic or equivalent, or add the appropriate url to /etc/apt/sources.list by hand (see here for details). If you don't want to use a repository directly, you can instead download a .deb file by clicking the appropriate link below, then install it with dpkg as described in Installing.
Again, should you be using an older version of these distros, there may be a 6.0 or earlier package available: this link lets you access their pages. OthersSlackware
There are slackware tgz packages as follows:
Download the package with wget or a browser, then install it as usual with pkginstall (don't forget to install wxWidgets first). To build from the source package, extract it (tar -xf) and follow the instructions in its README file. https://slackware.pkgs.org/15.0/alienbob-x86_64/wxGTK3-3.2.1-x86_64-1alien.txz.html http://connie.slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/wxGTK3 You need to have the wxWidgets (wxGTK) runtime libraries on your system. There are currently suitable packages for slackware 15.0 at these sites: wxGTK3-3.2.1 and wxGTK3-3.2.1. Gentoo and derivatives
There is an overlay and ebuild that should work for gentoo and derivatives. NB the overlay now requires git, so unless it's already installed you will need to emerge dev-vcs/git. If you use layman, do the following in a terminal, as root: layman -f -o https://4pane.co.uk/gentoo/overlay.xml -a 4Pane
emerge 4pane If you don't use layman, make a suitably-named directory in for the ebuild, and download it:
cd /usr/portage/local && mkdir 4Pane && cd 4Pane
You need to tell portage about this, as described in https://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Installing_3rd_Party_Ebuilds#Local_Portage_Overlay. Here you will do this by adding a line
PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/portage/local/4Pane"
to /etc/make.conf, using your favourite text editor. If there is already a PORTDIR_OVERLAY= line there, to avoid clobbering other overlays you should instead append the line:
PORTDIR_OVERLAY="${PORTDIR_OVERLAY} /usr/portage/local/4Pane"wget https://4pane.co.uk/gentoo/overlay.tar.gz tar -xzf ./overlay.tar.gz Then do emerge 4pane Debug rpmsYou don't really need these, but there are also debuginfo rpms available:
