Tips & Tricks that I've Encountered Over the Years...

Install Joplin on Slackware 15.0

August 30, 2023 — Gregg Szumowski

On a recent episode of Hacker Public Radio, the host, Lee listed several note-taking apps that he had tried to use. One of them was Joplin which I have been using for several years now. I feel that it is probably one of the best note-taking apps available that:

  • Supports Markdown
  • Is cross-platform
  • Supports vim keyboard mappings (I can’t live without this)
  • Integrates with multiple cloud storage environments.

I use it on a daily basis for almost all of my notes but it also supports checklists on my iPhone, iPad, Windoze laptop, and all of my Slackware devices (desktop and laptops). Give it a try!

As of yet, it is not available as a SlackBuild, but you can install it on Slackware quite easily using the CLI with:

$ wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/laurent22/joplin/dev/Joplin_install_and_update.sh | bash

Have fun!
