Here's a short description on how to install it on RHEL8 but other Linux distributions might be similar.

Clone the Repository

Code:

git clone https://github.com/brouhaha/nonpareil.git

Patch some Scripts

I had to make a few changes in order to build it on RHEL8:

Installing scons

I've created a virtual environment venv to install scons:

Code:

python3 -m venv venv
. venv/bin/activate
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install scons

For this I've used Python 3.9.7.

Dependencies

Not sure what I had already installed, but I assume we have to install these packages:

• gtk2
• gtk2-devel
• libgsf
• libgsf-devel
  

Build and Installation

Code:

scons
scons install

This installed the binary in /usr/local/bin/nonpareil.
Since that directory is in the PATH I could start it simply with nonpareil.
