Install Linux on Intel
Shared objects for 64-bit and 32-bit Intel Linux.
1. Get the package
The download is public and needs no key — unlicensed output carries an
evaluation watermark and nothing else is restricted. The package file is
linux-x86-x64.zip.
2. Check your platform
Two separate facts per platform: whether a licence key for this package covers it, and whether the download ships an engine binary for it.
| Platform | Licence covers it | Binary in the download |
|---|---|---|
linux-x86 |
Yes | Yes |
linux-x64 |
Yes | Yes |
3. Install
shell
unzip linux-x86-x64.zip
gcc -I. app.c -L./x64 -lLumasPdf -o app
4. Licence it
A licence is one key string, set once at startup. Buying one and installing it is covered by how licensing works; until then the engine runs fully functional with an evaluation watermark.
5. Your first PDF
The smallest complete program: create, write, close.
c
#include "lumaspdf.h"
int main(void) {
void *pdf = pdfCreatePDF("hello.pdf");
pdfAppend(pdf);
pdfWriteFText(pdf, taCenter, "Hello from LumasPDF");
pdfEndPage(pdf);
pdfCloseFile(pdf);
pdfDeletePDF(pdf);
}
