Home Overview Donate

Installation

Eruditto ships as a single .deb package. No extra runtime, no container, no snap, just install and go.

  1. Download the package

    Grab the latest .deb from the download section on the home page, or use the direct link below.

  2. Install via terminal

    $ sudo dpkg -i eruditto_0.1.0_amd64.deb

    If dpkg reports missing dependencies, fix with:

    $ sudo apt install -f

    Then run the installation command again.

  3. Launch it

    After install, Eruditto automatically starts a background service. Open your app launcher and search for Eruditto, or run eruditto in a terminal.

Compatible with Ubuntu 24.04+. Requires X11 (Wayland support is planned).

How to use Eruditto

Once running, Eruditto lives quietly in your system tray. Here’s the flow:

1

Copy as usual

Highlight text, code, a URL — anything — and press Ctrl+C (or right-click → Copy). Eruditto captures it automatically.

2

Open the popup

Press your hotkey (default: Ctrl+Shift+v). A searchable popup appears with your full clipboard history.

3

Search and select

Type to filter. Click the item you want. It’s copied back to your active clipboard instantly.

4

Paste and go

With the popup closed, just Ctrl+V (or middle-click) wherever you need the content. Job done.
