SikuliX One line installer for Linux

Asked by Dmax

------------ a solution from comment #5 for Ubuntu 16+

    sudo apt-get install -y libopencv-dev tesseract-ocr
    sudo apt-get install -y xdotool wmctrl
    mkdir -p $pathSikuli
    cd $pathSikuli

Hi RaiMan,

Thank you for continuing to work on SikuliX and not abandoning the product.

I was using Sikuli a few years back on Windows and I liked the software and thought it was kinda fun to develop small scripts on. I even sent you a question about some script I was working on and you replied kindly.

Later I switched OS to Linux Ubuntu and I will continue being on this OS.

I checked the installation instructions for SikuliX on Linux but that was kind of long.

Please RaiMan, do you think you could make a more convenient way to install on Linux? Some other software products have cool one-liners so we can just use CURL to download a script which takes care of all the installation automatically.

P. S. There is an absence of macro software on Linux. Windows has AutoHotkey and such. Linux does not for some very strange reason considering how development centric the Linux OS is.

I think you could have a cool niche here with image recognition and perhaps expanding more into keyboard macros as well.

Sorry for the inconveniences.

But I think with latest version 1.1.1 (http://sikulix.com) things should have become rather convenient at least on Ubuntu.
Just take care to apt-get the prereqs as doc'ed and then run setup.

Since with version 2 SikuliX will be Java-only (with respect to the implementation code) I expect, that then it will be possible to more easily setup packages to be used with apt-get or other package managers on other Linux's.

Nevertheless have fun with SikuliX and thanks for feedback.

BTW: version 2 will have a recorder ;-)

Recorder! That would be cool!

I will try to install again some day if I can but from the look of it it required a little bit more effort than your average Linux software installation. As I said I will try again if I can and let me know if you got the recorder ready, I think I could see use cases right now. Lots and lots of services don't have API's these days plus who wants to learn the syntax of every API really?

I think we could close this now.

Thanks for feedback and suggestions.

Watch the ongoing development of version 2 (https://github.com/RaiMan/SikuliX2).
I guess first useable builds will be available during April.
