2.5 Installing Rattle on Linux for Local User
To install for use just by you the package can be placed into
~/.local/share. After downloading the zip file unzip it into
that location:
wget https://access.togaware.com/rattleng-dev-linux.zip -O rattleng-dev-linux.zip
unzip rattleng-dev-linux.zip -d ${HOME}/.local/share/rattlengThese two steps, wget and unzip, can also be repeated to update your installation.
Now set up a link to the binary to be able to run the rattle command
from a terminal:
Then set up your local installation (only required once) to make it known to GNOME and KDE, with a desktop icon for your desktop:
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gjwgit/rattleng/dev/installers/rattle.desktop -O ${HOME}/.local/share/applications/rattle.desktop
sed -i "s/USER/$(whoami)/g" ${HOME}/.local/share/applications/rattle.desktop
mkdir -p ${HOME}/.local/share/icons/hicolor/256x256/apps/
