Comments on How to record a region of your desktop as animated GIF on Linux

This tutorial shows how to record a region of your screen or a program window and store it as an animated gif. Those in technical spheres usually use animated gifs to quickly describe how a problem or an error gets triggered. It's also a useful way of explaining how a particular feature in a software application works. You can easily use gifs in online forums, your company presentations, and more.

I got to the 2nd time of running luarocks, which is

"And then run the 'luarocks install' command again."

and then received the following error message and could not go beyond this point.

Cloning into 'gifine'...

fatal: unable to connect to github.com:

github.com[0: 192.30.253.112]: errno=Connection refused

github.com[1: 192.30.253.113]: errno=Connection refused

Hav you tested to reach github.com with a web browser? Maybe there is an internet connection problem as the luarocks command tries to download the source code from there.

Thanks for this tutorial. I failed several time to install all dependencies for gifine. Also there is a bug: if height of gif is same of your vertical resolution you won't be able to edit and save it because buttons will be out of the screen.
