Google’s famed Picasa photo management app is now available for Linux!. In perhaps what is a sign of the growing stature of Ubuntu in the Linux world, there is a .deb file available for download, made for Ubuntu (or so the page says).
To install Picasa, download the .deb file, and install it by running the following command from the directory that the .deb file is in:
$sudo dpkg -i picasa_2.2.2820-5_i386.deb
(Please check if the version number in the above is correct – it should be the same as the name of the .deb you downloaded)
If you don’t want to use the repositories, or don’t have a compatible package manager, you may also download the packages directly from the following URLs:
- rpm, for Red Hat/Fedora/Suse/Mandriva i386 or x86_64:
http://dl.google.com/linux/rpm/testing/i386/picasa-3.0-current.i386.rpm - deb, for Debian/Ubuntu i386:
http://dl.google.com/linux/deb/pool/non-free/p/picasa/picasa_3.0-current_i386.deb - deb, for Debian/Ubuntu amd64:
http://dl.google.com/linux/deb/pool/non-free/p/picasa/picasa_3.0-current_amd64.deb
All downloads are approximately 30 MB: Picasa software (13 MB), Wine (11 MB) and Gecko engine (6 MB).
