Installing Tcnc

For now installation must be done by hand…

Example shell commands should work on MacOS/Linux. For Windows/Cygwin see Inkscape user extension folder location.

  1. Download the latest version:

    curl -L -O "https://github.com/utlco/tcnc/archive/master.zip"

  2. Unzip/extract the downloaded archive file (tcnc-master.zip):

    unzip tcnc-master.zip

  3. Copy or move the Inkscape extension description (.inx) files in tcnc-master/inkinx to the Inkscape user extension folder:

    cp tcnc-master/inkinx/\*.inx ~/.config/inkscape/extensions

  4. Copy or move the entire tcnc folder from tcnc-master to the Inkscape user extension folder:

    cp -R tcnc-master/tcnc ~/.config/inkscape/extensions

  5. Restart Inkscape.
