1. Software Installation

sudo Install Byzanz

2. Script download

1) byzanz-record-window.sh

3. The program that the installation script relies on

1) Cloning code

• Https://github.com/lolilolicon/xrectsel.git

2) Compile and install

./bootstrap  if ./Configure is not present. /configure--prefix=/usrmakesudo make instal

Note: in the execution

./bootstrap

If the following error occurs

./bootstrap:line 1:autoreconf:command Not found

The solution is:

sudo Install autoconf

4. Configure script Execution permissions

sudo chmod 755 ./byzanz-record-region. SH  sudochmod755 ./byzanz-record-window. SH  sudochmod755 ./byzanz-record-window-gui. SH

5, the trial effect is as follows

./byzanz-record-region. SH

6, for the convenience of later use can be added to the environment variable

Enjoy it.
