mchehab/ZBar

Project ID: 24322

Description

ZBar is an open source software suite for reading bar codes from various sources, including webcams. As its development stopped in 2012, I took the task of keeping it updated with the V4L2 API. This is the main repository for it. There's a clone at at LinuxTV.org, and another one at gitlab. https://linuxtv.org/downloads/zbar/

Installation Instructions

  1. Enable ZBar COPR repository with:
$ sudo dnf copr enable mchehab/ZBar
  1. Install ZBar. For basic usage with a nice full-featured GUI, use zbar-qt (with will also install zbar core package):
$ sudo dnf install zbar zbar-qt

Or if you prefer Gtk 3 interface (with a lot less features than the Qt app):

$ sudo dnf install zbar-gtk

If you want to use it on other applications, there are bindings for several different languages to use ZBar libraries:

  • For java: zbar-java
  • For python3 (just image scanning logic, no GUI bindings): zbar-python3
  • For language-independent Gtk3 GUI interface (works with python3 among others): zbar-gi
