## Scribus on Haiku

Thanks to the efforts of Giovanni Mugnai, Scribus is also available for Haiku.

To run Scribus on Haiku you need to download Scribus for Haiku, which comes in a ZIP archive. Extract the archive to wherever you like (for example your desktop), then double-click the installer file `Scribus1.4.3_Haiku.pkg` and click on “Install.” The installer includes all dependencies. It also contains the latest versions of Ghostscript, Ghostscript fonts, LittleCMS and Hunspell, so these need not be installed separately.

After installation, an icon/link to Scribus will be present on the Desktop, and you can launch Scribus.

### Caveats

- Since CUPS hasn’t been ported to Haiku yet, you can’t print directly from Scribus. You can, however, export a PDF and print from BePDF or DocumentViewer.
- The Scripter doesn’t work, because Tkinter is not yet available for Haiku.
- The Properties Palette may be placed in the upper left of the screen without any obvious option to make it fully visible. Use Ctrl+Alt+Left mouse button to drag it to an appropriate position.
