This was a challenge!

Download the compressed tar file from this website

Extract the downloaded file into a sub-folder in you Downloads folder called sheetmaker.

cd ~/Downloads/sheetmaker

Now install the following perl modules:

sudo apt-get install build-essential libgtk2-perl libimdb-film-perl libxml-bare-perl perlmagick libfile-finder-perl libimage-exiftool-perl libxml-tokeparser-perl libxml-treepp-perl

Run a test to check that all perl modules have been installed

perl ModuleTest.pl

It should say one more module "XML::RPC" needs to be installed. If there are any more modules to be installed - look for them in synaptic manager.

The last module "XML::RPC" isnt available in Ubuntu. N.B. there is a similar named package libxml-rpc-perl but this is the "RPC::XML" library.

Run the following:

sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install XML::RPC'

Press enter for ALL questions asked -

If the final question asked is to 'enter the URL of the CPAN mirror' then enter the value http://www.cpan.org

Re-run

perl ModuleTest.pl

It should now just say that mediainfo needs to be installed. You install this by:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:shiki/mediainfo

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install mediainfo

now check that starting the application works -

perl SheetMaker.pl

Note - it might complain of missing templates - these can be downloaded from the website you linked to.

Finally - finish off by creating a desktop launcher

create a text file call sheetlaunch.sh with the following contents:

cd /home/homefolder/Downloads/sheetmaker

perl SheetMaker.pl

change the permissions so that is launches

chmod +x sheetlaunch.sh

now right click the desktop and create a launcher with the command line

/home/homefolder/Downloads/sheetmaker/sheetlaunch.sh

Click on the default icon and navigate to the sheetmaker folder to use the correct icon.

N.B. change homefolder for your home folder name

if you now move the launcher to the folder .local/share/applications then nattys' Dash will pick it up in its search.
