“If you are running the latest version of Ubuntu,
installing Showtell is rather straightforward. Launch the Synaptic
package manager, choose Settings -> Repository, and switch to
the Other Software section. Press the Add button, add the
ppa:yorba/ppa repository. Press Add Source, and hit the Reload
button to update the repositories. Then locate and install the
shotwell package. Of course, you can also compile the application
from source and even build it on Windows, and the Shotwell
Installation page provides a detailed explanation of the process.“Once Shotwell is up and running, the first order of business is
to import photos in the application.”
