Install OLP 2.1.6 in Linux Mint 17.2 Rafaela Xfce Edition

Pastorbobbyp

Hello,

I am relatively new to both OpenLP and Linux Mint.  I need to fine a good tutorial for installing OLP 2.1.6 into Linux Mint 17.2 Rafaela Xfce Edition.  This isn't a high priority as I am just using this old PC as a test machine. I appreciate any help I can get!

Thanx,

Pastor Bob

I have been running OpenLP in Debian-type distros for some time with success. I use the source code, rather than a package, and start the program with a script:

#!/bin/sh
cd /mnt/bigone/OpenLP-2.1.6 (Yours would be different.)
./openlp.py

In the OpenLP-2.1.6/scripts folder is check_dependencies.py which can be run to see what you need to add. I've found I need to add the python3 versions of these:
pyqt
lxml
sqlalchemy
alembic
dbus (It runs without this, but the above script says it's needed.)

Currently VLC needs to be installed to prevent a crash.

Hi Pastor Bob,

You should be able to add one of our PPA's (personal package archive) to your computer, and then install OpenLP through your software centre. Have you looked at the manual?

This is a bit old, but it should largely be the same:
