To install Nomacs on Debian 9.0

Nomacs is a free, open source and cross-platform image viewer that is mostly used for viewing all the common image formats including RAW and psd images. Nomacs also includes image manipulation methods for adjusting brightness, contrast, saturation, hue, gamma and exposure. Activating the cacher allows to instantly switch between images. This tutorial explains the installation of Nomacs on Debian 9.0.

Installation procedure

Before starting the installation procedure, add the repo by using nano command to open the sources.list configuration file. Now add these lines at end of the file. Save and exit from the file.

Q

What does nomacs mean?

A

First, when we started with the RAW support, the Macbeth color charts mostly did not have the colors expected when we loaded the images in nomacs. Second, we solely supported Windows and Ubuntu in the beginning. At this point, we want to thank all the supporters who translate nomacs or build it on other OS.

Q

what are the linux os Nomacs can support for?

A

Nomacs can support for the following Ubuntu, LinuxMint, Debian, Fedora, Arch Linux, OpenSUSE and rest of other os you can use source code

Q

Does nomacs support Windows XP and/or Vista?

A

The answer is yes and no. So neither Windows XP nor Vista is supported in future developments since nomacs 3.0. However, nomacs 2.4.6 is a pretty stable version which you can use on these operating systems.

Q

How to make an unattended installation of nomacs?

A

When using Windows you can make an unattended installation of nomacs:

# nomacs-setup-x64.msi /passive

Q

How to install Nomacs on Ubuntu?
