How to Install Flameshot in Ubuntu

I'm a big fan of Shutter, Since I started using Ubuntu, The tool I can't live without is shutter. But sadly it's not actively developed. I never had an intention to replace shutter with any other tool. Until I used Flameshot.

Flameshot is the perfect alternative for shutter. Kinda clone of Lightshot for Windows.

Installing Flameshot is simple.Open Terminal and Update your Repository Packages

1) Open Terminal and Update the Repository

sudo apt-get update

2) Install Flameshot

sudo apt install flameshot

Impression:

Flameshot doesn't have fancy windows. All you can do is simply start the tool and take a screenshot and edit it right away.
Direct Upload to Imgur (No Plugin Needed)
Flameshot offers a different set of tools to use right after taking a screenshot
Flameshot is consuming very less system resources compared to Shutter

This is how flameshot looks like

Here is the Configurations offered by Flameshot

Here is how you can use Flameshot in different ways.
