Building from Source
See the build instructions.
Installation Notes
Linux AppImage
Make sure the AppImage is executable
chmod a+x glaxnimate-x86_64.AppImage
Running the AppImage should start Glaxnimate.
If your system doesn't support mounting user level filesystems use the following commands instead:
./glaxnimate-x86_64.AppImage --appimage-extract
./squashfs-root/AppRun
Deb Package
Open the deb with your package manager and follow the instructions to install it.
Or from the command line:
sudo dpkg -i glaxnimate.deb
Note that the deb package has a dependency to python3.10.
Windows Zip
Extract the zip and execute the file at the top level glaxnimate.vbs.
Note that the built-in zip extraction that comes with Windows is excruciatingly slow, so you are better off using 7zip or something like that.
Limitations
When using Python scripting sys.stderr, sys.stdout, and print() won't work.
Antivirus
Sometimes the antivirus will delete random files, which will prevent glaxnimate from running (This has been observed with Norton).
If this happens, you must tell your antivirus to restore the files.
Mac dmg
You need to install the dependencies with Homebrew:
brew install python qt gcc potrace ffmpeg
Open (mount) the dmg file, then either open glaxnimate.app to run it or drag it
to Applications to install it.
Developer cannot be verified
If you get an error message saying the developer isn't verified:
- Go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General
- Click on the lock to make changes
- Under Allow Apps download from, select glaxnimate
Incompatible Library Version
If you get an error saying "Incompatible Library Version" you might need to upgrade some of the dependencies:
brew upgrade qt
