To run the application without Docker, you will need to manually install all dependencies and build the necessary components.
|
|
|
|
Note that some dependencies might not be available in the standard repositories of all Linux distributions, and may require additional steps to install.
|
|
|
|
The following guide assumes you have a basic understanding of using a command line interface in your operating system.
|
|
|
|
It should work on most Linux distributions and MacOS. For Windows, you might need to use Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) for certain steps.
|
|
The amount of dependencies is to actually reduce overall size, ie installing LibreOffice sub components rather than full LibreOffice package.
|
|
|
|
### Step 1: Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
Install the following software, if not already installed:
|
|
|
|
- Java 17 or later
|
|
|
|
- Gradle 7.0 or later
|
|
|
|
- Git
|
|
|
|
- Python 3 (with pip)
|
|
|
|
- Make
|
|
|
|
- GCC/G++
|
|
|
|
- Automake
|
|
|
|
- Autoconf
|
|
|
|
- libtool
|
|
|
|
- pkg-config
|
|
|
|
- zlib1g-dev
|
|
|
|
- libleptonica-dev
|
|
|
|
For Debian-based systems, you can use the following command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo apt-get update
|
|
sudo apt-get install -y git automake autoconf libtool libleptonica-dev pkg-config zlib1g-dev make g++ java-17-openjdk gradle python3 python3-pip
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Step 2: Clone and Build jbig2enc (Only required for certain OCR functionality)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https:github.com/agl/jbig2enc
|
|
cd jbig2enc
|
|
./autogen.sh
|
|
./configure
|
|
make
|
|
sudo make install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Step 3: Install Additional Software
|
|
Next we need to install LibreOffice for conversions, ocrmypdf for OCR, and opencv for patern recognition functionality.
|
|
|
|
Install the following software:
|
|
|
|
- libreoffice-core
|
|
|
|
- libreoffice-common
|
|
|
|
- libreoffice-writer
|
|
|
|
- libreoffice-calc
|
|
|
|
- libreoffice-impress
|
|
|
|
- python3-uno
|
|
|
|
- unoconv
|
|
|
|
- pngquant
|
|
|
|
- unpaper
|
|
|
|
- ocrmypdf
|
|
|
|
- opencv-python-headless
|
|
|
|
For Debian-based systems, you can use the following command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo apt-get install -y libreoffice-core libreoffice-common libreoffice-writer libreoffice-calc libreoffice-impress python3-uno unoconv pngquant unpaper ocrmypdf
|
|
pip3 install opencv-python-headless
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Step 4: Clone and Build Stirling-PDF
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://github.com/Frooodle/Stirling-PDF.git
|
|
cd Stirling-PDF
|
|
./gradlew build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Step 5: Move jar to desired location
|
|
|
|
After the build process, a `.jar` file will be generated in the `build/libs` directory.
|
|
You can move this file to a desired location, for example, `/opt/Stirling-PDF/`.
|
|
You must also move the Script folder within the Stirling-PDF repo that you have downloaded to this directory.
|
|
This folder is required for the python scripts using OpenCV
|
|
|
|
### Step 6: Other files
|
|
#### OCR
|
|
If you plan to use the OCR (Optical Character Recognition) functionality, you might need to install language packs for Tesseract if running none english scanning.
|
|
|
|
##### Installing Language Packs
|
|
|
|
1. Download the desired language pack(s) by selecting the `.traineddata` file(s) for the language(s) you need.
|
|
2. Place the `.traineddata` files in the Tesseract tessdata directory: `/usr/share/tesseract-ocr/4.00/tessdata`
|
|
Please view [OCRmyPDF install guide](https:ocrmypdf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html) for more info.
|
|
**IMPORTANT:** DO NOT REMOVE EXISTING `eng.traineddata`, IT'S REQUIRED.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Step 7: Run Stirling-PDF
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./gradlew bootRun
|
|
or
|
|
java -jar build/libs/app.jar
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Remember to set the necessary environment variables before running the project if you want to customize the application the list can be seen in the main readme.
|
|
|
|
You can do this in the terminal by using the `export` command or -D arguements to java -jar command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
export APP_HOME_NAME="Stirling PDF"
|
|
or
|
|
-DAPP_HOME_NAME="Stirling PDF"
|
|
```
