2. Install¶
Deploying UXTR is as simple as copying a folder to your disk.
To ease the process, installers are available for all platforms.
2.1. Windows¶
Depending on your architecture (32/64-bit), download the right UXTR version for Windows.
Then, double-click the uxtr.exe installer and follow the wizard’s instructions.
Check that everything’s fine:

Same applies to Mac OSX.
Use the DMG installer uxtr-1.0.dmg and drag’N drop the icon to the Applications folder.
UXTR is only available for MacOSX 64-bit architecture (there’s no more support by Apple for 32-bit arch).

2.3.2. Running Headless¶
If you ever need to run UXTR on a headless machine (no X server), here’s how.
First, install Xvfb (X Virtual Framebuffer) and other deps:
- Debian/Ubuntu and derivatives:
$ sudo apt-get install xvfb
$ sudo apt-get install xfonts-scalable ttf-baekmuk ttf-arphic-gbsn00lp \
ttf-arphic-bsmi00lp ttf-arphic-gkai00mp ttf-arphic-bkai00mp # optional
$ sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-x gstreamer0.10-plugins-base \
gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-good # optional
- RHL/Fedora/CentOS and derivatives:
$ sudo yum install xorg-x11-server-Xvfb xorg-x11-server-Xorg
$ sudo yum xorg-x11-fonts* # optional
Then, run it with:
$ sudo Xvfb :99 -screen 0 1024x768x24 -ac -noreset &
$ export DISPLAY=:99
$ cd $HOME/.uxtr
$ ./bin/uxtr --help
2.3.3. Package ia32¶
If you ever need to run a 32-bit UXTR version on 64-bit machine, the ia32 package contains runtime libraries
for the ia32/i386 architecture, configured for use on an amd64 or ia64 Linux system running a 64-bit kernel.
Install the following packages.
- Debian/Ubuntu and derivatives:
$ sudo sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
- RHL/Fedora/CentOS and derivatives:
$ sudo yum install xulrunner.i686 # a hack to get all ia32 deps
2.4. Plugins¶
To allow UXTR extract more links, you may want install the following (optional) browser’s add-ons:
- PDF plugin to display PDF documents inside the browser: Adobe Reader
- Adobe Flash player to view Flash websites
- Microsoft Silverlight player
- Video player & codecs: VLC
- Fonts
