LiMP: The Lisp Masturbation Program

Running LiMP on Linux

1. git clone --recursive --branch v8 https://git.coom.tech/eternal-coomer/LiMP && cd LiMP

2. If you're on a Debian-based system, run ./install-apt and it will install everything for you. Fedora users can run ./install-dnf. Arch & Manjaro users can run ./install-pacman.

3. Run LiMP and click on the 'Preferences' button. In the default tab (Directories) you can add any number of directories where images will be searched for. Once this is done, close Preferences and click on the 'Import Tags' button and follow the instructions there. Importing tags will be slow the first time.

4. The rest should be intuitive, just remember that you can click images to change just that image and right clicking an image opens it in your image viewer. Your image viewer, among other settings, can be changed in Preferences.

Running LiMP on Windows

LiMP doesn't have native Windows support and won't for some time, but it runs well under WSL2: Just follow the Linux instructions.

Updating

Assuming you want to update to v8, you would do:

./update v8

Then run the install script for your distro.

To update to the unstable master branch:

./update master

Then run the install script for your distro.

DISCLAIMER: Running master is never recommended except for development testing in an environment where you don't care if you lose images/tags/stars/data. If you use the master branch things can and will break and you may lose valuable data.

DISCLAIMER: LiMP is alpha software at the present time and probably doesn't have all the features you want, and it isn't particularly performant for large (> 100K images) datasets yet.
