Manual Install

Component-based manual installation for Linux.

Download Zaparoo Core for Linux from the Downloads page, unzip it and copy the zaparoo file somewhere like your home directory or /usr/local/bin.

Component Installation​

Zaparoo supports installing individual components:

./zaparoo -install application  # Installs the application binary
./zaparoo -install desktop      # Installs desktop integration
./zaparoo -install service      # Installs systemd service
./zaparoo -install hardware     # Installs udev rules and hardware support

For a complete installation, run all four commands. The hardware component creates:

  • A udev rule allowing users to read NFC reader serial devices
  • A modprobe blacklist entry to fix ACR122U reader issues

Starting the Service​

systemctl --user enable zaparoo.service
systemctl --user start zaparoo.service

Uninstalling​

To uninstall components:

./zaparoo -uninstall application
./zaparoo -uninstall desktop
./zaparoo -uninstall service
./zaparoo -uninstall hardware
