Python ecosystem

If you feel like running arbitrary code downloaded over the internet (pypi doesn't support gpg signatures anymore), mat2 is available on pypi, and can be installed like this:

pip3 install mat2

GNU/Linux

Optional dependencies

When bubblewrap is installed, MAT2 uses it to sandbox any external processes it invokes.

Fedora

Thanks to atenart, there is a package available on Fedora's copr.

We use copr (cool other packages repo) as the Mat2 Nautilus plugin depends on python3-nautilus, which isn't available yet in Fedora (but is distributed through this copr).

First you need to enable Mat2's copr:

dnf -y copr enable atenart/mat2

Then you can install both the Mat2 command and Nautilus extension:

dnf -y install mat2 mat2-nautilus

Debian

There a package available in Debian buster/sid. The package doesn't include the Nautilus extension yet.

For Debian 9 stretch, there is a way to install it manually:

# apt install python3-mutagen python3-gi-cairo gir1.2-gdkpixbuf-2.0 libimage-exiftool-perl gir1.2-glib-2.0 gir1.2-poppler-0.18 ffmpeg
# apt install bubblewrap  # if you want sandboxing
$ git clone https://0xacab.org/jvoisin/mat2.git
$ cd mat2
$ ./mat2

and if you want to install the über-fancy Nautilus extension:

# apt install gnome-common gtk-doc-tools libnautilus-extension-dev python-gi-dev python3-dev build-essential
$ git clone https://github.com/GNOME/nautilus-python
$ cd nautilus-python
$ PYTHON=/usr/bin/python3 ./autogen.sh
$ make
# make install
$ mkdir -p ~/.local/share/nautilus-python/extensions/
$ cp ../nautilus/mat2.py ~/.local/share/nautilus-python/extensions/
$ PYTHONPATH=/home/$USER/mat2 PYTHON=/usr/bin/python3 nautilus

Arch Linux

Thanks to Francois_B, there is an package available on Arch linux's AUR.

Gentoo

MAT2 is available in the torbrowser overlay.
