For instance, scrot can be used to monitor an X server in absence.\n\nscrot is free software under the [MIT-feh](COPYING) license.\n\n## Help this project ##\n\nscrot needs your help. **If you are a programmer** and want to help a nice\nproject, this is your opportunity.\n\nThe original scrot went unmaintained; the source of the last version, 0.8, was\n[imported from Debian](https://snapshot.debian.org/package/scrot/). After,\npatches from Debian and elsewhere were applied to create the 0.9 release. The\ndetails of our releases are registered in the [ChangeLog](ChangeLog) file.\nNow, scrot is maintained by volunteers under [Resurrecting Open Source Projects](https://github.com/resurrecting-open-source-projects).\n\nIf you are interested in helping scrot, read the [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) file.\n\n## Installing ##\n\nscrot is available in the official repository of many linux/BSD distributions.\nIt is recommended to use the system package manager for installing scrot.\nFor example, Debian users can run the following command to install scrot:\n\n```console\n$ sudo apt install scrot\n```\n\nA list of repositories that package scrot is\n[available here](https://repology.org/project/scrot/versions).\nIf your distribution does not package scrot, you may also build scrot from\nsource by following the build instructions below.\n\n## Building ##\n\nThis section describes the steps to build and install scrot.\n\n### Dependencies ###\n\nscrot requires a few projects and libraries:\n\n- [autoconf](https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/autoconf.html) (build time only)\n- [autoconf-archive](https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf-archive/) (build time only)\n- A pkg-config implementation [(e.g. pkgconf)](https://github.com/pkgconf/pkgconf) (build time only)\n- [imlib2](https://sourceforge.net/projects/enlightenment/files/imlib2-src/)\n  (must be built with X support)\n- [libbsd](https://libbsd.freedesktop.org/wiki/) (only needed if `\u003cerr.h\u003e` is missing)\n- An X11 implementation [(e.g. X.Org)](https://www.x.org/wiki/)\n- libXcomposite [(can be found in X.Org)](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libxcomposite)\n- libXext [(can be found in X.Org)](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libxext)\n- libXfixes [(can be found in X.Org)](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libxfixes)\n- libXrandr [(can be found in X.Org)](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libxrandr)\n\nThe [deps.pc](./deps.pc) file documents minimum version requirement for some of\nthe libraries.\n\n### Generic installation instructions ###\n\nIf you are building from a git checkout, or if you have applied additional\npatches to a tarball release, run:\n```console\n$ ./autogen.sh\n```\nTIP: if the source code does not have a _configure_ file, you need to run\n`./autogen.sh`.\n\nIf you have a tarball release, or after running the command above on a git\ncheckout or a patched tarball, run:\n```console\n$ ./configure \u0026\u0026 make\n```\n\nTo install the compiled result, run as root:\n```console\n# make install\n```\nOr, as a regular user:\n```console\n$ sudo make install\n```\n\nCleaning up the build is also simple:\n```console\n$ make clean\n```\n\nTo vanish the source code, removing all pre-built files, including _configure_,\nrun:\n```console\n$ make distclean\n```\n\nYou can return to a pristine source tree before running `./configure`:\n```console\n$ ./autogen.sh clean\n```\n\nBash and Zsh completion scripts are available in [etc/](./etc).\nDistro packagers are encouraged to install them to the appropriate directory.\n\n## Author ##\n\nscrot was originally developed by Tom Gilbert.\n\nCurrently, source code is maintained by volunteers.
