Most current GNU/Linux distributions provide packages for Flyer Composer and Flyer Composer GUI. Simply search your distribution’s software catalog.
Also many vendors provide Python, and some even provide Flyer Composer and Flyer Composer GUI. Please check your vendor’s software repository.
If your distribution or vendor does not provide a current version of Flyer Composer please read on.
If your vendor does not provide python3 please download Python 3.7 from https://www.python.org/download/ and follow the installation instructions there.
If you distribution or vendor missed providing pip3, alongside python3, please check your vendor’s or distribution’s software repository for a package called pip3 or python3-pip. If this is not provided, please refer to the pip homepage for help.
Optionally you might want to install PyPDF2, PyQt5 and
python-poppler-qt5
- which are requirements for Flyer Composer -
provided by your distribution or vendor,
so at least these package will be maintained by your distribution.
Check for packages named python3-pypdf2
,
python3-qt5-widgets
,
python3-qt5-gui
,
python3-qt5-network
,
python3-qt5-xml
,
python3-poppler-qt5

or that like.
