Mana - MTG Archive 2.1.0 for Linux (64-bit).

What's new in 2.1.0

The card scanner's side panel now works as a single screen:

  • Every scanned card shows its full edition — set symbol, code, collector number and name — so reprints are no longer a guess.
  • Change the quantity, mark a copy as foil or undo the add without leaving the camera.
  • Wrong edition? Click it and pick the right version; the copy already added is corrected on the spot.
  • A sound cue when a card is added, so you can keep your eyes on the cards instead of the screen (Settings → Scanner).
  • Choose which webcam to use when the computer has more than one: each camera is shown with a still of what it is currently seeing, plus its name where the system reports one.
  • The width of the side panel is now adjustable (Settings → Scanner).

⚠️ Beta release

Mana - MTG Archive for Linux still ships as a beta.

Specifically, the camera card scanner could not be tested on Linux, as there is no webcam on the development machine. The scanner panel above was tested on Windows with a virtual camera; on Linux what has been verified is the catalogue download, prices and the Google Drive backup.

If the scanner fails for you — or works — please say so in this repository's issues or at apgmdev@gmail.com, mentioning your distribution and camera model. That is what will let the next release ship without this warning.

What to download

  • .deb — Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint and derivatives. Installs into your applications menu.
  • .tar.gz — portable build for any other distribution (Fedora, openSUSE, Arch…). Needs neither administrator rights nor installation.

Installing

.deb package:

sudo dpkg -i mana-mtg-archive_2.1.0_amd64.deb

Portable build:

tar xzf mana-mtg-archive-2.1.0-linux-x64.tar.gz
cd mana-mtg-archive-2.1.0-linux-x64
"./bin/Mana - MTG Archive"

Requirements

  • x86-64 (amd64) architecture. There is no ARM build.
  • glibc 2.29 or newer: Ubuntu 20.04, Debian 11, Fedora 30 and anything more recent.
  • Java is not required: the package bundles its own runtime.

Your collection lives in ~/.local/share/manamtgarchive-kmp and is left untouched when you update.
