Assuming your Linux systems has the Perl environment correctly installed (standard on nearly all distros), there will be an administrator command cpan. In a terminal, simply run the appropriate command from the options below for the version you want to install. It will ask the administrator (super user) password and then install everything necessary to run ChordPro.
Use your system package manager to install the Perl Wx library. For Debian/Ubuntu type systems:
sudo apt-get install libwx-perl
For RPM based systems like Fedora:
sudo dnf install perl-Wx
After installing the Wx library, you can install chordpro with:
sudo cpan install chordpro
This will install the command line version chordpro as well as the
GUI version wxchordpro.
Then, to open the program, run wxchordpro at a terminal prompt.
You will get a file open dialog. To close the program, you can press Cancel and terminate the program with File > Exit.
sudo cpan install chordpro
To check for successful install, run chordpro --version. That should return a result like This is ChordPro version 5.00.00.
Whether using GUI or CLI version, you may proceed to Getting Started.
