clamtk-gnome is a simple plugin for clamtk to allow a right-click, context menu scan of files or folders in the Nautilus file manager.
This section gives different options for installing clamtk-gnome.
Please note that you may need to add sudo before the installation commands for Ubuntu and Debian-based systems.
First, download clamtk-gnome from its Github or Gitlab home. RPM-based systems like Fedora, RedHat, CentOS, Alma, or Rocky (and others) will use an RPM (.rpm). DEB-based systems like Debian or Ubuntu will use a DEB (.deb).
This is the easiest and recommended way. Installing this way allows the system package manager to take care of installation details.
There are deb and rpm packages to install this plugin:
dpkg -i clamtk-gnome_6.15-1_all.deb
apt-get install -f
yum install clamtk-gnome-6.15-1.fc.noarch.rpm
dnf install clamtk-gnome-6.15-1.fc.noarch.rpm
