Users on Fedora or CentOS can use a similar script designed for RPM package managers. : Execute this command in your terminal:
yay -S gyazo-git ``` ### **How to Use Gyazo on Linux** After installation, you can launch the app from your application menu or terminal. * **Capture**: Once launched, your cursor will turn into a crosshair. Click and drag to select an area of your screen. * **Automatic Upload**: Upon releasing the mouse, the image is automatically uploaded to the Gyazo servers, and a unique URL is copied to your clipboard. * **Shortcut Keys**: To make it faster, you can bind the `gyazo` command to a custom keyboard shortcut in your system settings (e.g., `Ctrl+Shift+C`). ### **Best Linux-Native Alternatives** Since the Linux version of Gyazo is open-source and lacks premium features like 4K video or GIF recording, many Linux users prefer native tools: * **[Flameshot](https://flameshot.org "flameshot screenshot tool")**: The most popular open-source alternative. It offers powerful on-screen annotation tools (arrows, text, blurring) before you upload. * **[Ksnip](https://github.com "ksnip github")**: A feature-rich screenshot tool that supports custom scripts for uploading to various hosting services. * **[Myazo](https://github.com/migueldemoura/myazo "myazo github")**: A self-hosted, cross-platform alternative that works exactly like Gyazo but allows you to store images on your own server. Would you like help setting up a **custom keyboard shortcut** for Gyazo or trying out a **modern alternative** like Flameshot? Use code with caution.
