Dash is a helpful software for macOS users. For Windows and Linux users, zeal is the open-source counterpart.git
To install the latest zeal on ubuntu, we have to build it from scratch, or use ppa reopsitory. Since there's something wrong with my network to use that ppa repository, I manually build it. The whole scripts content is:github
cd ~/work git clone https://github.com/zealdocs/zeal sudo apt install extra-cmake-modules qt5-default libqt5webkit5-dev libarchive-dev libqt5x11extras5-dev libxcb-keysyms1-dev libsqlite3-dev mkdir build cd build cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local/zeal make -j8 sudo make install sudo vim /usr/share/zeal.desktop
and the content of zeal.desktop
is:web
