sudo privileges

Step 1: Install Dependencies

Papermerge requires several dependencies to be installed on your system. You can install these dependencies by running the following command in your terminal:

Step 3: Configure and Start Papermerge

After Papermerge is installed, you'll need to create a configuration file and start the service.

Create a configuration file by running the following command:
