Re.: "Installing Hiero..."

[bwblock]

This afternoon I came across a post made by niftyprose re. the Hiero outliner (see: https://forum.sparkylinux.org/index.php/topic,5569.msg14836.html). Even though it's an old post from 2020, I had hoped to respond to it as I'm the developer of Hiero and a new/updated version of it (2.x, developed in Vala/Gtk3) is now available. The app is hosted on GitLab and it can be downloaded from here. Incidentally, Hiero now has few dependencies and its binary file alone can be copied onto most any Linux distro and it'll very likely run. Given that's the case, all that would be missing is the install of Hiero's icon to the system menu and convenient access to the user guide from its own menu (you'd have to manually copy userguide.hro to the ".hiero" folder that gets created beneath your home folder upon Hiero's first run in order to properly install it). Of course, users of Sparky Linux can also install the app via either of its two available packages. From Hiero's web page on GitLab, you can choose to install Hiero via either the generic Debian package or the .tar.gz archive. Cheers! - Barry
