Why we like it.
This is a great application to take screenshots.
- the editing feature is clean and works well.
- Screenshopts are autocopied to the clipboard.
- It can be run from the command line and therefore scripted and turned into shortcuts

Install Shutter
It used to worok well from the normal package manager but now will no longer work.
You need to use the version from the PPA
- Install the PPA
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:linuxuprising/shutter
No need to use apt update anymore because starting Ubuntu 18.04, the repositories are automatically updated after adding a new entry.
- Now use the apt command to install Shutter:
sudo apt install shutter
That’s it. You should have Shutter screenshot tool installed. You can search for it in the menu and start from there.
Removing Shutter installed via the unofficial PPA
I’ll complete this tutorial by adding the steps to uninstall Shutter and remove the repository you added.
First, remove Shutter from your system:
sudo apt remove shutter
Next, remove the PPA from your list of repositories:
sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:linuxuprising/shutter
