GFInstall is a simple shell script that helps to install google fonts directly from your terminal. When you press tab it tries to auto-complete the font name you're looking for.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:realpvn/gfinstall
sudo apt update
sudo apt install gfinstall
gfinstall {fontNameHere}
By default fonts will be installed globally (/usr/share/fonts/
), if you want to install it only for the current user then use -l
or --local
flag.
Usage:
gfinstall [options] [fontNameHere]
Options:
-l | --local To Install fonts locally
-v | --version Check gfinstall version
-h | --help Displays available options
Examples:
gfinstall montserrat # installs montserrat font globally
gfinstall --local montserrat # installs montserrat font locally
gfinstall -v # to check gfinstall version
- Ubuntu (20.04)
I will update supported list when I test on multiple platforms
