Symptoms
AfterShot Pro 3 does not initially install on Fedora 35
Cause
Dependency issues
Resolution
This article assumes basic familiarity with Fedora Linux and using a terminal command prompt.
- Install AfterShot without dependencies:
- Open a terminal window in Fedora.
- Enter the following command to install AfterShot:
sudo rpm -ivh --nodeps https://dwnld.aftershotpro.com/updates/v3/AfterShotPro3.rpm
- The RPM will install some libraries which may conflict with current Fedora libraries, so we move the provided ones out of the way. Continuing in the terminal:
cd /opt/AfterShot3\(64-bit\)/lib/
sudo mkdir ./backup/
sudo mv ./* ./backup/
sudo mv ./backup/libbibblesdk.so.5 ./
- Install a version of compat-openssl10
sudo dnf copr enable dioni21/compat-openssl10
sudo dnf -y install compat-openssl10
- Install required dependencies
sudo dnf install \
libglvnd-glx \
libICE libSM \
libXcomposite \
libXext \
libXi \
libsecret \
ocl-icd \
libgpg-error \
qt \
qt5-designer \
qt5-qtmultimedia \
qt5-qtbase \
qt5-qtbase-gui \
qt5-qtsvg \
qt5-qtwebkit \
qtkeychain-qt5
- The qt.conf file is not required and can cause issues. We'll rename that:
cd /opt/AfterShot3\(64-bit\)/bin/
sudo mv ./qt.conf ./qt.conf.backup - Run AfterShot. You will be prompted for a library folder and a settings folder. It's safe to just click OK here.
- Enjoy!
