I have installed it on my Debian. It is working really well.

Here is how to install it in Debian:

Step 1:

sudo apt-get install aria2 python-webkit python-pkg-resources

Step 2:

 wget http://mirror.bjtu.edu.cn/deepin/pool/main/d/deepin-software-center/deepin-software-center_2.0.5_all.deb

Step 3:

 sudo dpkg -i deepin-software-center_2.0.5_all.deb

You should now have deepin-software-center installed.

I am using i3 desktop, so I need to run it using

deepin-software-center &

I assume that if you are using xfce, it should be in your menu. And to add it in your openbox,

 obmenu

Then add

deepin-software-center &

Enjoy... smile

Interesting background about Deepin Software Center.

Thanks for this How To and introduction to Deepin, I had never heard of it

I will stay with apt and synaptic and wait see where this one goes..

kowloonboy · 2012-01-25 20:20:13

I only discovered it recently, too. But it seems to be quite stable. So I thought I should share it with you guys.

I did load it .. confirming the install process and How To is a good one. smile

It is flashy and fast, it looks like a QT or a kde app, though I know it is not.

Will check it out more, and again thanks for the heads up and How To

I will put this in the Quick References ...

kowloonboy · 2012-01-25 23:08:41

Cool thanks... smile

BoredOOMM · 2012-01-26 22:57:16

Any screenshots available?!?

VastOne · 2012-01-26 23:00:43

In the OP there is a video

vicshrike · 2012-01-27 07:59:29

Looks good, despite all the colors. big_smile

VastOne · 2012-01-27 08:00:23

^ Agreed! lol

They need to produce a Mono version!

adamtheskunk · 2012-03-16 01:23:26

Can someone help me out here? I can't get this to work... I run it in terminal and keep getting...

"Command proxy listen ...

(gksu:1673): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_str_has_prefix: assertion `str != NULL' failed"

I really loved this on ubuntu, and want it running on here if anyone can figure this out for me i'd really appreciate it.

VastOne · 2012-03-16 01:42:22

^ Just to be sure, are you running it with gksudo?

adamtheskunk · 2012-03-16 02:14:33

how would i type that command in? I'm a bit new to #!

VastOne · 2012-03-16 02:17:53

in terminal

gksudo deepin-software-center

adamtheskunk · 2012-03-16 02:18:04

"skunk@skunk:~$ gksudo deepin-software center

(gksudo:1568): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_str_has_prefix: assertion `str != NULL' failed"

I try opening it with the "run program" gui and it still fails to load.

VastOne · 2012-03-16 02:22:10

Not finding much success with those errors in searches.

I am running it on CrunchBang (Debian Sid) without any issues.

Perhaps kowloonboy can shed some light on this..

@kowloonboy - Are you running this under Stable?

adamtheskunk · 2012-03-16 02:38:45

"sudo deepin-software-center
skunk@skunk:~$ * Command proxy listen ...

ok after re-installing it, i got this...

VastOne · 2012-03-16 02:41:59

libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0 is the issue. It is only available in Wheezy or Sid.

Hopefully someone has successfully compiled it for Stable and can confirm that it can run in Stable

VastOne · 2012-03-16 02:43:54

Did you follow kowloonboy's instruction to install it?

And there were no errors on the install?

adamtheskunk · 2012-03-16 02:45:09

How do i find that out O_O

VastOne · 2012-03-16 02:46:36

The very first post in this thread

smoki · 2012-03-16 02:50:31

Try to make softlink to the library:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libwebkit-1.0.so.2 /usr/lib/libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0

yes it run here after that:)

WOOHOOO!!! YES! Awesome! It's working, thanks guys.

VastOne · 2012-03-16 02:55:30

^ Great. Please explain what you did to get it to work so others can learn from it.

And welcome to CrunchBang adamtheskunk, thanks for helping make the community stronger!

adamtheskunk · 2012-03-16 03:14:10

basically just executed this command. I would like to understand better what exactly this did.

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libwebkit-1.0.so.2 /usr/lib/libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0

VastOne · 2012-03-16 03:17:32

It made a symbolic link (symlink) telling Deepin to use your installed version of libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0 instead of what Deepin was looking for in libwebkit-1.0.so.2

Nice call smoki!!

CrunchBang Linux
